Pokemon has grown a lot since it started in 1996, with new regions introducing hundreds of new Pokemon over the years. Despite this, there's a sense of nostalgia around the original 151 Pokemon that appeared in the first set of games, and many fans still love them the most. There's a variety of ways that fans show that appreciation, and Redditor BG_V2 has done so by making a pair of shoes inspired by none other than generation one Pokemon Togepi. The shoes are absolutely adorable, and fans are loving the artistic craft.

BG_V2 shared the self-made shoes on Reddit on July 15th, and quickly saw an influx of praise from the community. Pokemon fans tend to be very passionate about the franchise, so it's no surprise to see this kind of work being supported. BG_V2 also explains that they were inspired to make the shoes by another creator that has made something similar.

In the title of the post, BG_V2 explains that they made the shoes as a gift for their girlfriend, but one commenter objects and believes that with a gift like this, it won't be long before she is a wife instead. The fabric on the shoe is painted in two halves. The bottom half represents Togepi's shell, with the top half being the Pokemon itself. The iconic markings on the egg are all there, and each of the Togepis on the two shoes has a different adorable expression on its face.

Making cute shoes wasn't enough though, as BG_V2 decided to go the extra mile and paint the shoe box as well. The box that the shoes are in have the same kind of design, with the lower portion of the box showing off Togepi's egg and the lid being the cream color of Togepi. There's even another cute Togepi face on top of the box. In response to the shoes, one fan opts to call them Togekicks, a play on words with Togepi's evolution, Togetic. It seems like a fitting name to say the least.

If players want to see more fan-made Pokemon shoes, the inspiration for these is German YouTuber MiiMii, who also does a lot of shoe painting. In the comments on the post above, BG_V2 links an instagram photo of Togepi shoes made by this artist as well. Both are incredible, and many fans are finding that this is something they didn't even know they were missing. There are a lot of exciting things happening in the Pokemon community right now, and fans are especially active.
