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.
