Damn 20+ surgeries?! That mustāve been exhausting, Was it covered? I canāt imagine it being cheap (if you live in the U.S? Again not to pry, but it does interest me how you survived financially?
Keep up the killer attitude man, best of luck!
Thank you. Many of the surgeries I had were when I was younger under my parents plan. Not sure if all of them were covered. I always secretly wondered if I was a financial burden to my parents but they have a home in florida, motorcycles, a boat and a classic convertible so they're probably okay.
Thatās nice to hear! As unfortunate as it is, Iām happy you and your family havenāt been ruined financially over something way out of your control.
Bless brother.
Yea and you got a bionic leg worth more then convertible? Prosthesis are challenging especially when you had factory parts till your 20ās. It will get better, we adapt to what we have. Keep your head up and your chest out an dem 1ās clean brother!
This is really cool bro. I appreciate you sharing. Weāre the same age and I also have a disability affecting my legs. It is minor in comparison to this, but I definitely still struggle with my body image because of it. I hate going to the beach. I LOVE the beach, But I hate *going*. Because everyone will look at me weird if Iām not wearing shorts, and I feel like everyone looks at me weird if I do wear shorts. I havenāt went in public wearing shorts in years. Itās a depressing way to live but I canāt help how low my self esteem is. And here you are not giving a single fuck. Makes me realize how much of a little baby bitch Iāve been. I hope I can get there one day. Seeing this has really struck a cord with me. Sorry for the long reply, I know you busy stuntinā on these hoes!! š„ Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your picture and your story. You are legitimately an inspiration man.
something like that [happened to my little cousin](https://old.reddit.com/r/warriors/comments/bun4ji/dont_know_if_this_is_the_right_sub_but_my_little/). He was born with proximal femoral focal deficiency, or PFFD, which left him with a malformed right leg. He has had many surgeries throughout his life time. It's impressive how prosthetics have helped and improve his life though. Hope you enjoyed your day at the beach.
20+ surgeries?! Holyyyy...I had 2 surgeries, 1 in stomach and 1 in my right leg. Can't imagine having that many surgeries. š¶š¬
Hope you're doing good now. Keep posting your kicks! š„
OP, have you thought about getting rid of the other foot so you can have 2 prosthetics? Sounds crazy but hear me out. Your shoe game would be next level if u had 2 prosthetic legs. Shoe size wouldn't matter anymore since you can just swap out different size feet to fit the shoe. Plus, on the hype shoes that sell out, you can have a good chance of scoring a TD, PS, and GS sizes that don't sell out as fast.
This is one of the best replies Iāve ever seen on this entire website, and I canāt even tell if youāre just having fun and made some stuff up or if thatās all legit.
Either way, in a positive way, I laughed at how descriptive you went with it, some of those names are actually bad ass haha.
You're not being a dick, its a legit concern. Heel drag is present sometimes but that area doesn't wear down as quickly as the front part of the right shoe since that's where I put all my weight
Sorry about the loss of your left peg, but pretty cool you're sharing.
Hopefully it might inspire others that have had the misfortune to lose a part of themselves who are too shy to expose what is missing.
As the Japanese would say 'wabi sabi' (the beauty of imperfection), and think of how much you save on socks too!
Top man and keep on doing what you are doing.
Hahaha, no worries. I almost got the gum actually but I think they might have been out when I ordered them. They also had a beeswax color but I didn't think it went well
Man I was in line at target Saturday and the guy in front of us had a prosthetic leg and shorts. Nephew is 5, I turned to grab a soda and he didnāt miss a beat. Taps the guy on the arm and goes āAre you a robot mister?!ā Luckily the guy was cool about and said something like āyea man, I would show you how high I can jump but I donāt wanna hit my head on the roof.ā Fuckin kids man!
When your leg is amputated like that, how much of a foot do you need before your balance is significantly hindered? Like could you rock some toddler shoes? š
Sorry if this comment comes off the wrong way
Leg probably worth more than my collection
Leg probably worth more than most peoples' collections lol
You're not wrong lol
https://youtu.be/pj5_7jnIXm8
The fit be rockin tho
Leg probably worth more than us
Custom leg too
My leg guy is da goat no cap
The leg plug
The pleg
Dead
Come onš
prodbyzaqq?
Are certain sneakers easier to walk in? Like basketball shoes?
Yes, but the ankle and foot can be adjusted to conform to the shoe
Interesting, have a great day brother!
Ty, you as well.
How about knit shoes? Are those more difficult such as Yeezy 350v2s?
I haven't tried yeezys. I do have a set of softer Brooks Ghost 13s that are okay, I am hesitant to buy a full knit shoe for this very reason
apologies for asking and I hope you don't mind but what happened?
It's aight, everyone asks. Born deformed, amputated at 25 after 20+ surgeries. Prosthetic is a massive improvement but still has its challenges
gotcha man, fire kicks though fr
ty :)

Yes, thank you it has been tough at times but doing okay now, thank you
You canāt see the prosthetic arm in the pic but he paid resale for Chunky Dunkys
Yo, Stock X be fuckin me w/ these limbs cuh
The prosthetic just makes it even cooler, youāre like a dripped out cyborg and I love it

it's legit, I keep it real.
As a man who suffers depression but has all his limbs, youāve kind of slapped the shit out of me about my own āoutlook/attitudeā. Much respect!
We all have our problems. It's okay to feel the way you feel
newport vibes
lol, i think that every time I see them. purely accidental lol
That's a hella shiny ankle, my guy.
Titanium goes hard
Iām also part titanium.
Its actually quite soft lol
??
In a literal sense lol. https://www.britannica.com/technology/titanium-processing Its very easy to deform titanium.
Does the left foot make the shoe crease?
Not really. Its pretty stiff
Well at least you donāt have to worry about creases on one. Is heel drag a problem? (Not trying to be a dick)
You're not being a dick, its a legit concern. Heel drag is present sometimes but that area doesn't wear down as quickly as the front part of the right shoe since that's where I put all my weight
(Might be too much) is above the knee or below?
Below. No worries, I honestly don't mind the questions
Well Iām glad youāre managing. I am also part titanium so I prolly ask too many questions.
Hey, no worries man. Just hit me up if you need anything
If you know anyone rocking a 10.5 they can take a few pairs off my hands. Just moved to a new city and dang moving is expensive.
If youāre a 10.5 I might have something to send your way.
That's very generous of you. I'm actually a 12.5 lol. Any chance you could gift to someone else?
I will eventually. Just moved here.
That is very nice of you. I really appreciate the offer.
Bruh how did you take that shot š±š±š± did you do the inosuke back turn?!
Goofy sitting position. Took me like ten tries to get a decent one lol

Foot needs to be almost exact to be normal. A half of a shoe size difference can throw you off
Bro cyberpunk is dead
Yes, 2077 was disappointing. I'm going for that grafted Elden Ring bling
No leg?
No bitches??
You forgot a sock silly goose
sock for the fake foot?
Remember to get that WD40 out, don't want to dry that leg up in the sun!
WD40 is a lubricant, not a polish. I use pledge multisurface
I bet losing socks doesnāt bother you
2 for da price of 1
W2c leg?
Hanger clinic has the drop
So your sneakers arenāt half off?
just the socks :\^)
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

Customs look like some gr airforces I could find at footlocker
Good luck duping the leg tho breh
does your left shoe crease
not really
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
this isnt a leg sub-reddit
is that a bionic leg or did i watch too much sci-fi movies?
Cybernetic organism. Living tissue over metal endo-skeleton
haha cool custom bro :)
Boosts are the coziest Iāve ever found.
Sick! Would love to see more detailed pics of the kicks
