I suspect he started with a solved cube, “unsolved” it with his feet, and then played the sequence in reverse to make it look like he solved it with his feet.

There is another video on YouTube that explains how he did it. Yes he UNSOLVED it and then played the sequence in reverse. However, I find it facinating the effort he put into making it seem real, for example the person who walks through the background had to walk backwards during filming.
