What is soon-to-be lame duck President Barack Obama doing on this historic Election Day? Playing basketball, just like he's done on every Election Day since his win in 2008, the Washington Times reports. His outfit on the way to the run was a brazen one, featuring the kind of brand mix and matching often shunned by prude sneakerheads.
0 f*cks given, a case study: Jumpman warmups, Asics sneakers, Under Armours on deckington. And a White Sox hat in case you forgot #southside pic.twitter.com/deQWeLSUcI
The basketball sneakers carried by Obama—and presumably switched into once he got to the court at Fort McNair military base in Washington—are exclusives created for him by Under Armour in 2011. The silhouette here appears to be the UA Jet. The shoes feature a patriotic colorway and the presidential seal on the tongue.
Obama has been blessed with plenty of sneakers during his tenure as president, with Nike, New Balance, and others gifting him exclusive footwear.
