President Joe Biden has attracted attention for his choice of Hoka Sneakers for ‘maximum stability’, aimed at preventing falls, and for a fashion decision that sparked widespread discussion on social media.
As reported by the Independent, an Inside Edition report highlighted Biden’s use of a Hoka brand lifestyle sneaker, which he observed as he exited Marine One, causing a stir among observers.
The “Hoka Transport” model, known for its broad sole, is reputed for its stability, offering comfort and support ideal for walking or hiking activities.
Despite previous incidents of stumbling, the shoe’s design provides wearers with a sensation likened to “walking on air.”
However, the conversation around Biden’s footwear choice has evolved into broader concerns regarding his age and mental fitness for office. An ABCNews/Ipsos poll indicated that 86% of Americans believe he is too old for re-election.
RNC Research X humorously suggested Biden’s switch to “lifestyle sneakers” was due to frequent tripping, while another user coined the term “Air Bidens.”
The discussion also touched on Biden’s admission of having neuropathy (sensory peripheral neuropathy), contributing to his falls, raising debates about the appropriateness of his footwear in light of his position.
