Barack Obama is known for his dashing sense of style, so it’s no surprise that anything he wears inspires us to put our own twist on a cool, yet sophisticated look.
The 44th President of the United States made a special trip to Las Vegas to support the Team USA Basketball Team during their exhibition game against Team Canada last Wednesday (July 10), and the nation’s staggering 86-72 win wasn’t the only thing people were eyeing.
The 62-year-old, who was spotted court side at the big game, turned heads in a smart-casual summer look thanks to a crisp white button down, khakis and leather sneakers that both men and women can snag for only $129.
After scoring the Internet for hours on end, we found that Barack rocked a pair of Premier Low Top Sneakers from celeb-loved footwear brand Thursday Boots. Over the past few months, celebs like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Chris Hemsworth, Daniel Radcliffe and Justin Long were seen wearing the brand, so it makes sense why the Former President would join these male fashion icons and wear something of quality that doesn’t break the bank.

Known for their highest quality and honest prices, Thursday Boots is handcrafted alongside similar products from other brands that charge customers in the $200-400 price range. According to the brand, “we make zero compromises in terms of quality materials, manufacturing, or business ethics (fair labor and sustainability). We simply believe that offering customers a great value is the foundation to long-term business success and is the honorable thing to do,” they state on their website.
The Premier Low Top Sneakers are available in both men and women’s sizes and come in a ton of variations and colors. However, the things that don’t change are the details. The Nappa Leather Upper provides a beautiful finish that only gets better with age while the Buttery Soft Leather Interior Lining ensures the softest touch. Shock-Absorbent Footbeds provide high-impact performance and all-day comfort and the Dual Density Rubber Outsoles provide added comfort and traction, but the best part of it all are the Long-Lasting Cotton Laces that top things off with a clean and sophisticated look.
