Being the tallest man in America comes at a price—just as Minnesota resident Igor Vovkovinskiy.

After the 7’8” Vovkovinskiy failed to find a proper pair of sneakers in his size, Reebok came to the rescue by creating a pair of custom size 24 sneakers that have the capability of supporting the enormous frame of America’s tallest man. To fit him properly, Reebok took larger-than-life molds of Igor's feet, which were then used to design the sneaker. Of course the custom work came at a price, a whopping $25,000 to be exact. But we suppose it’s the price you pay to be a human giant.

Vovkovinskiy was elated with his new kicks, which were given a Minnesota Timberwolves colorway (Vovkovinskiy’s favorite NBA team). There's no word yet whether Igor had to pay the entier 25K price tag out of pocket.
