Nah.. he got inspired when he saw his granpas butt... which had a chappal mark on it.... a Pakhtun tribesman was responsible...:lol:
 
Now the link on the website says 'inspired by Peshawari chappal'. The twitter has helped with this credit.

Not possible there are Pakistanis in UK who wear that too....I am very sure he got thrown the chappal hence it came to his notice!
 
Any difference between Kheri and Peshawari chappal?

Peshawari Chappal requires no introduction in Pakistan. It is widely worn summer footwear by men in Pakistan (as well as in many parts of India) with the traditional dress of Shalwar Kameez. It is more like a sandal than a slipper.

Chappal, sometimes also refer as ‘Kheri’ has over hundred years old history, firstly started in Peshawar and Charsadda. But wait a sec, Chappal is now becoming friend of Jeans and the new fashion of using Chappal as summer shoes is getting popular each day.
