Travis Kelce Slips on Nike Dunk Low ‘Panda’ Sneakers & Red Suit for White House Visit With Patrick Mahomes
Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes and the rest of the Kansas City Chiefs team stopped by the White House in Washington, D.C., on Monday to celebrate their 2023 Super Bowl win with President Joe Biden.
Formally dressed in classic suits, Kelce posed for pictures with Biden, keeping it casual with the inclusion of coveted sneakers.
Kelce donned Nike Dunk Low Retro “Panda” sneakers in a white and black colorway, a popular style for the footwear brand. The Dunk Low “Panda” is notoriously hard to find, whether in low-top or high-top style. The two-toned shoe sold out fast following its release in 2021 and has been resold on sites like StockX and Goat.
The footwear features black overlays on the toes and tongue, with sturdy white leather uppers that give the sneaker durability. Additionally, the shoe has cushy foam midsoles for enhanced comfort and rubber outsoles.
The “Panda” silhouette is reminiscent of styles popularized in the ’80s, offering a nostalgic factor found in vintage footwear for a reasonable price point. The sneaker was designed by Peter Moore as a transitional piece, meaning wearers can take their shoes from the hardwood to the street effortlessly.
During the White House visit, Kelce and the Chiefs gifted Biden his very own championship jersey and signed a football. The team also won the Super Bowl in 2020, but they weren’t able to visit the White House because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
