These Nike sneakers that Jessie_Heims highlights are as cute as they are accessible Paralympics 👟
. During the three-minute video, Heims highlights the details that make both pairs of shoes work for her, since she wears a prosthetic on the lower half of her right leg. Normally Heims has to DIY her shoes to make them work for her prosthetic, but this time Nike, who is a sponsor of the Games, made adaptive shoes for paralympic athletes.
As Heims takes us on a tour of the slides, she explains that the added strap at the back allows for her prosthetic to stay in place, because she doesn't have toes on her right leg to"grip" a common slide sandal that doesn't have a strap in the back.
According to Heims in the video above, she usually ends up giving shoes that she's been gifted to one of her sisters, but time around she plans on keeping both pairs.
