NASCAR Legend Dale Earnhardt Jr Gives Sneaker Heads a Freak Out as His Favorite Pair Is Running Out

Dale Earnhardt Jr isn’t a fan favorite just because of who his father was. Over the years, he has earned the adulation of thousands around the globe thanks to his skill and dedication to the sport of NASCAR. It’s no surprise that he has had die-hard fans over the course of his career. Fans would go so far in supporting him that they emulate the kind of clothing he wears on a daily basis.

On a recent episode of Ask Jr on Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s Dirty Mo Media, he kind of sent them and sneaker enthusiasts into a frenzy. Jr said that it was getting harder to get a hold of his favorite kind of sneakers, meaning that the ones looking to buy the same pair of footwear may find it difficult to get their hands on as well.

Dale Earnhardt Jr’s favorite shoes are a ‘nod to soccer’

Dale Jr said that he was wearing Onitsuka Tiger’s Mexico 66. A sneaker that was comfortable and a tribute to soccer. He mentioned that he had been wearing that kind of shoe for a long time as they were comfortable, and easy to put on and kick-off. Jr. also mentioned that he had a bunch of Asics shoes lying at home, which he color co-ordinates with his t-shirts and hats.

Answering a fan question on the show, Jr. said, “Yeah, these are Asics. They make a Mexico 66 style shoes are what it’s called. I think it’s from, it’s sort of a nod to soccer. And so, I’ve worn them forever, I don’t know, they’re very comfortable.”

“Easy to put on, kick off and they come in so many different colors which I always kind of like to wear all kinds of different ones. I mean you see me, I’m wearing different, you know with my hats and my t-shirts and all that. But, I got a lot of pairs of Asics and I haven’t been shopping for many of them here lately but they’re kind of getting harder to find and I don’t know if they’re making less of these or what. But I’ve got a bunch of these back home. I took some pictures one day and was gonna post it on social media but Amy said that would be a bad idea,” he added.

“I remember when I was in high school getting a hold of a pair of wrestling shoes and how comfortable those were and they’re really similar to NASCAR drivers’ shoes. They’re very easy to wear, not much sole, and so I’ve gotten so accustomed to wearing those style of shoes and this kind of reminds me of that,” he said.

And I said, ‘what the hell’, and he’s like yeah medium plus and I’m like, I mean is that like medium rare? What the hell? Why won’t you just say medium rare? That’s silly. Plus? What is this,” Dale Jr said.
