Many might have found this odd, but since stepping down from his leadership role, Castro has dumped his military garb for more casual attire.
Recent photographs of Castro show the leader has an affiinity for tracksuits and according to Slate, "Castro has a collection that includes Nike, Puma, Fila and Reebok, but adidas seems to be his favorite."
