Canelo Alvarez, boxing prodigy and style icon, dropped a sizzling post on Instagram. The intention was clear – brand promotion. But the universe had other plans. Or maybe, it was just the boots. Not just any boots – but the ones that swiftly became an unplanned focal point. Alvarez, with his vast following, typically gets attention for his punches, endorsements, and style statements.

But who could’ve predicted footwear taking the center ring? It’s not often that a tequila brand gets overshadowed. Especially not by a pair of shoes. But, here we are. In a world of unpredictable fan reactions and unplanned viral moments. If you’re curious about which boots can possibly cast such a shadow and how, you’re in for a treat.

Canelo Alvarez: When a boxer’s boots become the talk of the town

In his latest Instagram escapade, Canelo Alvarez, clad in a vibrant yellow floral shirt paired with black jeans, showcased not just his impeccable style but a tinge of entrepreneurial spirit. His aim was to promote @vmcdrinks, a beverage brand inching its way through the U.S markets. The post carried a heartfelt narrative about staying faithful to one’s roots, much akin to the authenticity of the beverage brand he was endorsing. However, as clear the message aimed to be, it was his black boots that found themselves under the social microscope.

Now, stepping into the spotlight weren’t just any regular pair of boots, but ones that garnered a myriad of reactions, quite contrary to the main essence of the post. One fan, presumably unimpressed, quickly dubbed them as the “Dumbest boots ever.” On the contrary, another fan found a spark of attraction towards them and chimed in with a complimentary “Killer boots, man.”
