Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis presented the first shoes with the New Democracy emblem in a video on TikTok yesterday. The creator of the shoe is 20-year-old Yiannis Louloudis, who is originally from Rhodes. In his post on Instagram, he expressed that they are a unique, custom-made pair of sneakers bearing the logo and colors of the New Democracy, while stating on ANT1 that they are not for sale.
“I started when I was 13 years old, at 17 I opened my first store, at 18 the second and now I am about to open the third in Dubai,” Yannis told ANT1. He further expressed that he has made three pairs, one for Kyriakos Mitsotakis and the second for his son Konstantinos. Yiannis continued by expressing that he had contacted the PM about creating the shoes and once it was done to bring it to the Maximos Mansion.

Yiannis’ business aims to provide customers with the most exclusive products available, particularly focusing on sneakers and apparel. Recognizing these items as both fashion statements and investments, the store carefully sources its products to ensure quality and uniqueness. Whether customers are casual wearers or serious collectors, Flower Kickz offers something for everyone, both online and in-store.
Notably, three years ago, at just 17 years old, introduced shoes featuring the PASOK logo, which attracted attention for their unique design. However, each pair, priced at 280 euros, stirred controversy, leading to PASOK expressing dissatisfaction and Louloudis discontinuing production. Despite initially creating only 100 pairs, the incident highlighted the intersection of fashion, politics, and entrepreneurship.
