Years after his loving mum created flowery ‘swoosh’ because the family could not afford real thing, grown-up son posts photo, millions view online
A Chinese mother who embroidered a Nike logo on her son’s bag because of their financial situation during his school days has been awarded for her efforts by the brand.
The man, now 23, from northwestern China’s Shaanxi province, surnamed Liu, posted an old photo of his school bag from junior secondary school on social media on September 9.
The red bag has a giant floral-patterned Nike Swoosh logo on it.
Liu said many of his classmates in junior secondary school had genuine Nike school bags, but his family could not afford one because they usually cost around 300 yuan (US$40).
His mother, a tailor surnamed Zhang, now aged 50, filled the logo with a variety of flowers, green leaves and her love.
Liu said he was proud of his unique logo and showed it off to everyone he met, telling them that his mother had sewn it.
He said his mother had made all his clothes since he was little.
