IN HIS SHOES

Justin Trudeau’s Footwear for King Charles’ Speech Turns Heads

The former prime minister went with Adidas sneakers for King Charles III’s visit.

Justin Trudeau joined King Charles III and Queen Camilla for the opening of a new Canadian parliament session Tuesday, but some weren’t happy with the former prime minister’s footwear. Trudeau wore a blue suit with green and orange Adidas Gazelle sneakers (which top out at about $150 a pair), causing X users to complain. “Always the narcissist seeking attention, Trudeau wore green and orange runners,” one user, a self-described conservative, wrote. “What the hell kind of shoes does Trudeau have on?” another reacted. Others, though, didn’t see an issue. One suggested his choice was simply to “troll his haters.” Another weighed in, “Get ready because the right is about to lose their ever loving mind...” Trudeau, who resigned his post in January, was in attendance for Charles’ speech rebuking U.S. President Donald Trump—without saying his name—for his threats to annex the country. “Democracy, pluralism, the rule of law, self-determination and freedom are values which Canadians hold dear, and ones which the Government is determined to protect,” he said. Prior to Tuesday, the last time a monarch oversaw a new Canadian parliament was in 1957 under Queen Elizabeth II.
