We know the President is a huge basketball fan, he hoops in the White House whenever he has free time.

In fact last week, Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama were courtside during the Carrier Classic, so it’s no surprise that he’d have a signature sneaker to play ball with.

STORY: Barack Obama Is A Muthaf**kin’ MONSTER!

The clothing and sports company Under Armour, whose roster includes superstar athletes such as New England Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady and basketball sensation Brandon Jennings, designed the “USA President” PE kicks, the signature shoe for Barack Obama, complete with the Presidential seal on the tongue.
