Goonies was, is and always will be, the greatest movie in cinematic history and my favorite movie! ☠️
I watched it what felt like daily, as a kid and still regularly watch it. If it’s on tv, it doesn’t matter where in the movie it is, it’s staying on! Plus, there’s an amazing soundtrack.
As a boy, Mikey was the ultimate hero to me. A kid who looked up to his dad, was loyal to his friends and always looking for an adventure. Of course, Chunk brought the comic relief…”No! I’m too young. No! I want to play the violin!” The entire cast was perfect; Mouth, Data, Brand, Andy and Stef, not to mention the Fratellis and of course, Sloth. (Kudos to One-Eyed Willie on his non-speaking role.)
This pair’s theme revolves around Willie’s treasure map, and pulls in many more stand out details from the film. We have:
• Sloth’s Superman shirt and suspenders paired with Chunk’s colorful Hawaiian shirt on the back of each shoe
• Music notes from the back of the map wrapped around the midsoles
• Custom printed heel tabs featuring Willie and his ship, the Inferno
• Lace locks depicting the doubloon (1632!) and skeleton key, aka Copper Bones
• Willie’s eye patch hangtag (with added “GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE!” painted on the reverse)
• Gold elephant print up front for Willie’s treasure
• Air units dyed to match the colored jewels in Mikey’s marble bag
• Yellow laces for Mikey’s raincoat
• Movie poster insoles
Special thanks to my buddy for collaborating to create all the amazing and perfectly executed accessories: lace locks, insoles, hangtag and printed leather heel tabs. These details help put this pair over the top.🙏🏼
Over 14 years, this is my favorite pair I’ve ever created because of how personal it is to me. It would be the coolest thing if all of the actors commented/shared my work.
Maybe one day, I can be so lucky as to have each of them sign this pair for me.✍️
