Nike Designs Accessible Shoe for a Disabled Student

7 Jan 2013How's this? – you write a letter to Nike CEO Mark Parker with a special request – a shoe with no laces. You can read the story here: http://www.whatdisability.com/inspiration/universal-design-2/511-nike-designs-accessible-shoe-for-one-disabled-student-what-about-the-rest-of-us

How surreal would it be to receive a phone call and have a shoe designed just for you so that not only can you manage to get your own shoes on, they support your feet and look good as well!

Good on you Matthew for advocating for yourself and how awesome is it that Nike accommodated you!

Has anyone had different things made for them by a high profile brand? Does anyone have any ideas they would like to share?
