'Crazy' moment Leeds superfan meets Tom Grennan just to give him shoes

Tom Grennan wore custom trainers gifted to him by a Leeds business during a concert here at the First Direct Arena.

The shoes were given to him by the Pudsey-based business Adikoggz who make custom trainers for their customers. Keilan Kogut owns the business alongside his father, Dean, and they design unique shoes which they then sell.

Keilan's partner, Lucy Randle, has been a "massive" fan of Tom Grennan for years and decided to try to get in contact with his manager, John Dawkins. She told him her partner made custom trainers and asked if Tom would want some, which he said yes to.

Tom Grennan was due to play a concert here in Leeds and so they were told they could come and give the shoes to him personally backstage at the First Direct Arena. Lucy was already going to the gig and so agreed.

When they met with him, he took the shoes and said he would then wear them during his concert.

Lucy said: "It was unreal, to just experience it and it still hasn't sunk in now for myself and Keilan."

"We still can't believe it," Lucy added, "I was getting pictures from fans on this group chat that was at the front, standing. They're sending pictures to us saying 'these are the trainers aren't they that Tom Grennan wore and your partner designed'.

"It's just crazy, it's not really sunk in at all."

Lucy also said she felt proud of what they had done. She said: "I started crying and then my friend did as well.

"We both just looked and each and it was just like, as if he's actually got the shoes that we designed on. I've just seen it all over all social media like Facebook and Instagram.

"It's just crazy."

Lucy thinks it was even more special for Keilan because it took place in his own home city of Leeds. She said: "Even just talking about it I'm like, oh my God, it happened."
