In the world of gaming, speed is key. And the key to speed is... shoes. Specifically, incredibly fast shoes. No, faster than that. Faster!

If you want to build the fastest shoe in the gaming universe with your family (and of course you do!), you’re going to need some quick (heh) pointers. So we’ve partnered with the super creative @jeansversion to show you how. 

As ever, you can use whatever bricks you already have at home. That’s the golden rule: any brick will do the trick! But if you want to use the exact bricks you see in the video, you can enter ‘LEGO® Pick a Brick’ in the search box, order them online and have them delivered to your home with a quickness. 

Ready, set... let’s build some shoes!

Steps to building the fastest shoe in the gaming universe

STEP 1: Pick your colors and build a base

Shoes come in all shapes, sizes and colors, so don’t feel like your family should be restricted by convention. If it kinda, sorta vaguely resembles something that could go on your feet if you squint, well – that’s good enough for us. 

STEP 2: Accesorize

Shoe tongue? Check. Collar lining? Check. Laces? Tied tight. You can get creative with your shoe, from the tip to the sole all the way to the heel. Maybe the fastest shoe in the gaming universe is a stiletto, you know. You decide. 

STEP 3: Turbocharge

OK, now we’re talking. What speed-boosting elements can you think of? Wings, wheels, engines, propellers, flames... Excellent ideas. Also, throw in a few extras just ‘cause they look pretty: stars, flowers and so on. 

STEP 4: Build a whole race track

Now comes the competition: pool your family’s builds and put them to the test! You could even build a race course. With obstacles! On your marks. Chop, chop. May the fastest shoe win.
