Dani Alves’ sparkly teddy bear shoes are a work of art

Dani Alves is an artist. Be it in his runs, his assaults masquerading as tackles, his dives or his hair (seriously, his hair), everything he does is a work of art. That includes his shoes.

HIS SPARKLY TEDDY BEAR SHOES!

Teddy boots!

He’s not the first person, or even athlete, to don bear shoes. Metta World Peace played in white panda bear shoes, but there are a few key differences here.

1. Teddy bears > Pandas
2. Gold
3. Sparkly
4. SPARKLY GOLD TEDDY BEARS

It took all of the brilliance, imagination and beauty in the world to come up with these. They will probably be in the Louvre before long.

And if we recognize the brilliant piece of artwork that these shoes are, imagine how Alves feels.

It’s fashion.

It’s art.

It’s function.

It’s sparkly gold teddy bears.

It’s the pinnacle of humanity.
