Phil Lipschutz, the founder of Unheardof, drew inspiration for the design from his childhood recollections of his grandmother and her cherished floral couch.

The sneaker incorporates elements such as her preferred flowers, the color she loves most (purple), and her cherished motto, "Always be a good boy."

Watch Naomi unbox the sneakers for the first time.
