The '1 2 Buckle My Shoe, 3 4 Buckle Some More, 5 6 Nike Kicks' meme originated from a viral TikTok video posted by user @p_e_t_e_r_p_a_n_ in early 2023. In the clip, the creator dramatically showcases his unique, oversized, or 'quirky' Nike-branded shoes while singing a rhythmic, high-energy remix of the classic nursery rhyme. The video's absurd enthusiasm and the catchy nature of the audio quickly turned it into a massive trend. Users began using the sound to showcase their own strange outfits, bizarre fashion choices, or simply to lean into the chaotic humor of the original clip. It has since become a staple of modern internet culture, often used to satirize hypebeast culture or highlight humorous footwear mishaps.
