Nigerian Designer Liz Sanya Just Made the Biggest Sandal You’ve Ever Seen!

Move over, sneakerheads and stiletto lovers, because fashion history has just been rewritten in Lekki, Lagos, Nigeria! British-Nigerian designer Liz Sanya has created the world’s largest sandal, a jaw-dropping achievement that’s left jaws dropping and records shattering. Measuring a staggering 26 feet, 8.8 inches in length and 10 feet, 4.2 inches in width, this oversized clog-style sandal is not just footwear—it’s a global statement.

Crafted at Pixel Park in Lekki, this pink, giant masterpiece took just 72 hours to complete, with Sanya and her team working tirelessly from January 2 to January 4. Their dedication has already captured the hearts of Nigerians and footwear enthusiasts worldwide. But here’s the real kicker: the sandal is currently awaiting official Guinness World Record recognition.

The current record-holder, a traditional sandal from Municipio De Sahauyo, Mexico, stands no chance against Sanya’s vibrant creation. Measuring 24 feet, 5.31 inches long and 10 feet, 1.65 inches wide, the Mexican sandal was impressive—but Sanya’s design has officially taken the game to the next level.

Why It’s More Than Just a Giant Sandal

For Liz Sanya, this project isn’t just about breaking records. It’s a celebration of Nigerian creativity and craftsmanship. Born in Ibadan and inspired by the bustling energy of Lagos, Sanya has always carried her roots proudly. Speaking after the event, she said:

“Ibadan is where I was born, and Lagos is where I found inspiration. It felt right to return home and make this happen.”

Sanya also gave a heartfelt shoutout to her team, supporters, and the creative community in Nigeria:

“None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of those who believe in my vision.”

If you thought this was just a quiet project, think again. Pixel Park turned into a celebration hub as Nigerian stars like Mayorkun, Pheelz, Korty EO, and P.Prime came out to witness history in the making. The vibe was electric as fans and celebrities gathered to cheer on Sanya’s bold attempt.

What’s Next for Liz Sanya?

While the world waits for the Guinness World Records seal of approval, Sanya is already basking in her success. Her record-breaking sandal isn’t just a one-off—it’s a reminder of what’s possible when creativity meets ambition. From Nigeria to the global stage, Liz Sanya is proof that the world’s best ideas can come from anywhere.

So, the next time someone asks you what Africa’s greatest exports are, don’t just say oil, music, or food. Say giant sandals—and show them this incredible feat by Liz Sanya.
