The Kicks: Fuggit [1]

Why We Love Them: You guys, crochet sneakers are a thing, and they're cool as heck. Fuggit [2] is a brand that takes sneakers and turns them into slippers for a great cause. The designer behind the brand, Rich Riley, creates one-of-a-kind handmade sneaker-slippers that are based on some of the most sought-after sneakers in the market right now. Think everything from Yeezy Boost 700 Wave Runners to Sean Wotherspoon's rainbow Nikes.

The Instagram account has become a hotspot for sneakerheads looking for something that's unique and comfortable. Fuggit's shoes really give a whole new meaning to the word "comfy," because each of the shoes is lined inside with a layer of Sherpa — talk about cosy. Another amazing thing? The brand is also a nonprofit, and every purchase is considered a donation and will help families directly affected by sneaker violence [3]. Rich told POPSUGAR, "Fuggit creates parody art footwear to spark the conversation of sneaker violence within the fashion community."

Whether you're in the market for a pair of classic Vans Sk8-Hi sneakers or a covetable designer collab like Supreme x Louis Vuitton, there's something for everyone. The designer has even expanded into a line of mini shoes for kids called SnkrBaby [4]. Keep reading to see some of the brand's amazing creations.
