These could best be defined as ‘incredibly cool’, as chunky sneakers seem to be in trend now. Regardless, many fans couldn’t help but be baffled by the footwear game of the recently knighted Formula 1 driver in the comments.

One person wrote, “WTF has Lewis got on his feet? I am obviously not with fashion now!”

While another simply said, “Lewis got some interesting boots.” A fan wrote, “Lewis has the best shoes.”

But one comment, in particular, stood out that read, “Lewis on the inters again I see.”

Yet this isn’t the first time Hamilton has been spotted in these shoes. Back in July, Mercedes posted a picture in which Sir Lewis was sitting with his team members while Roscoe took notes.

Hamilton also showed up at the Le Castellet circuit wearing these shoes ahead of the French Grand Prix.
