Metta World Peace's new sneakers are adorned with fluffy teddy bears

September 23, 2014 12:43:36 PM PDT
Remember when Metta World Peace was named Ron Artest, played in the NBA and did reasonably logical things? Well, maybe not that last part. But those were simpler times.

Now World Peace, who begins his first season with the Sichuan Blue Whales of the Chinese Basketball Association in November, is planning to go by "The Pandas Friend" and wear shoes that are, ummm, just take a look for yourself:

The unique sneaks are a cheaper version of designer Jeremy Scott's $200 Adidas shoes, according to ESPN's Darren Rovell. The creatures are more teddy bear than panda bear, and reports originally suggested that the stuffed head was detachable.

But fear not, friends, World Peace has cleared all that up:


Where can you get these dad shoe-meets-nursery gems? World Peace says they will be available on mettaworldpeace.com by Tuesday. No word on whether mesmerizing your opponents with adorable stuffed animals on your sneakers will prove more effective than the jump-enhancing type popular in the late 1990s (aka Jimmy's training shoes from "Seinfeld").
