NBA and San Antonio legend Shaquille O'Neal sent shoes to the boy who later set a Guinness World Record for largest hands and feet on a teenager.
Eric Kilburn Jr. of Goodrich , Michigan , has some very big shoes to fill. And they're a size too small. The 16-year-old high school football player now holds the Guinness World Record for largest hands and feet for a teenager. But it's not his first time in the limelight. After going viral at 14 years old for his hands and feet, he received a unique gift from NBA and San Antonio legend Shaquille O'Neal: custom-made shoes.
Most San Antonio football coaches earned six-figure salaries in 2023-24 At around 6 feet, 11 inches, he has struggled to find footwear that fits his size 23 feet. 'We made hundreds, if not thousands of calls, asking different shoe corporations or different shoe companies, 'Can you make a shoes this big?'' Kilburn told Guinness. 'A lot of them said, 'You have to be a collegiate or professional athlete. Sorry, we can't help you.
San Antonio leads U.S. cities in population growth, adding 22,000 residents When Shaq heard about Kilburn's predicament, he sent over size 22 shoes from his own collection — including a pair of Reebok Shaq Attaq sneakers and a Louis Vuitton boot. While Shaq is technically a size 20, he wears size 22 shoes 'to make sure I have room,' he said in a 2021 interview with Footwear News.
Prosecutors: Former Rey Feo had affair with Army employee to land multimillion-dollar contracts Kilburn's mother, Rebecca, who stands at 6 feet, 2 inches, said Shaq became a 'support system' for her family, and added that her son reached out to Shaq to ask for advice on how to handle his newly found fame.
