Las Vegas, NV (March 8, 2024) – Today, The Why Files, known for its entertaining approach to exploring mysteries, myths, and conspiracies, has announced its first sneaker release. Inspired by its popular Hecklefish character, the Hecklekicks are the latest in WF-branded products made for its 3.4+ million YouTube subscribers. 

The Hecklekicks were designed by the Why Files team with comfort and everyday durability in mind. Like the extensive research put into their popular videos, the team worked with veteran footwear designers to determine the best quality options for the design. The Hecklekicks come in a minimal black, white, and red colorway with subtle WF branding along with Hecklefish details throughout the sneaker and packaging. The materials used are Napa leather, Italian suede, and a Vibram outsole. 

“We are excited to bring another amazing product to the fans of The Why Files. Our goal is to have quality merchandise that allow Whyphiles to support the channel with style. SoleSavy has created this awesome shoe with that in mind and we are thrilled with the result.” Jen Gentile, CEO

The Hecklekicks were produced in Philadelphia, PA, by Garrixon Studios. SoleSavy and Garrixon formed a joint venture to empower creators to launch their own footwear in early 2023. “The Why Files have built an incredible brand and IP, and we are honored to bring their vision to life as they continue to innovate and bring new products to market for their loyal community,” said Ali Adab, CCO of SoleSavy.

The Why Files is represented by Michael Gordon over at Night.

The Hecklekicks release to the public on Saturday, March 9 at 9 AM PST for $99.99 at http://thewhyfiles.solesavy.com

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
