They are obviously New England Patriot slippers. They appear official as they have the NFL hologram and were sold by FOCO UK

I would like to know more about the year they were sold and any other info. Google searches, reverse image searches yielded no match unfortunately.

The label calls it a colorblock sneaker slipper. Looks like slippers that look like sneakers.

Lounge gear to look like kicks

Have you tried searching for the barcode number?

[–] unlogic@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 months ago

Yea. Unfortunately no matches either.

I guess the best I can say is that they're made after 2008 and not before, because that's when the NFL logo changed.

I also think the team itself switched from a cursive to a more block-like font more recently than that but I can't put a finger on when the font changed exactly.

The new Patriots logo font appears to first appear around Oct 2013, going by the archive of their Pro Shop website.

Thanks to you and the sibling comment here. Timeline helps narrow things down. Not being much of a sports fan I had no idea about the logo changes.

Have you tried contacting https://www.foco.com/ and asking them? They should be able to help you more if you reach the correct person.

Looks like an older model for sure.
