QB’s finest is heading to China, and when he changes his name he means it. The hooper formerly known as Ron Artest and lately as Metta World Peace is immersing himself in the local culture with The Panda’s Friend as his most recent moniker. The playful name translate to a signature sneaker that’s all business and fan-friendly, seeing a low top performance shoe denoted by a stuffed animal’s head and arms popping out of the tongue and top eyelets. Though the styling is very similar to Jeremy Scott designs for adidas, this pair packs a gift-giving attribute as MWP will be removing the panda from the shoe before every game and tossing it to a fan in the crowd. Awwwwww.
Props to Metta on this fan and panda friendly design. MWP supporters who can’t catch a game (or stuffed panda) in China can pick up a pair soon at the Metta World Peace website.
