Obama's famous "Yes We Can" slogan is printed in big, capital, white lettering around one side of [blue shoe's outer rim](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rasant-mid), while the other reads "Change." What really pushes it over the obsessive fan edge is a black and white photo of Obama's face. One pair of shoes has red laces, while the other has blue, adding to the shoe's [patriotic American theme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orketro-brazil). Can we pull up anymore neat Obama stuff?
