A 14-year-old boy from Michigan is set to make history by receiving the biggest shoes ever made by sportswear brand Under Armour.
Eric Kilburn Jr. had been wearing size 22 shoes but they were too small and caused painful calluses, blisters and ingrown toenails.
His mother recently went public to help find shoes to house his feet, given that the average American male shoe size is 10.5.
Under Armour responded and is now set to gift the 6ft 10in teen with a pair of custom-made sneakers.
A 3D render of the youngster’s feet was created and a mold was made to ensure the designers created the perfect fit.
There will be a six- to eight-week wait for what will be Under Armour’s biggest ever creation.
The company has also offered to make Eric a pair of cleats just in time for the return of the football season.
