Kenya’s national football team celebrated a thrilling victory over Zambia at the Moi International Sports Centre in Kasarani, but it was President William Ruto’s fashion choice that became the talk of the day.
As he cheered on the Harambee Stars, sharp-eyed fans noticed the Head of State sporting a pair of Ferragamo Gancini suede sneakers, a luxury item retailing at around $980 (Sh126,000).
The sleek low-top sneakers, adorned with the brand’s signature Gancini ornament, combine sporty modernity with timeless Italian elegance.
According to Ferragamo’s official website, the shoes feature a mix of technical mesh, suede, and smooth leather, designed for a high-end yet urban look.
Crafted from premium calfskin leather, the sneakers blend luxury craftsmanship with casual streetwear, making them a standout piece.
Social media erupted with mixed reactions, with some praising Ruto’s stylish confidence while others humorously questioned if the expensive footwear brought the team good luck.
This isn’t the first time Ruto has flaunted high-end accessories, having recently worn a rare Rolex Daytona worth over Sh6 million in the Maasai Mara.
The antique Rolex, a symbol of wealth and sophistication, is listed on luxury platforms for as much as $50,000 (Sh6.4 million) for new models.
Earlier this year, he also turned heads with a Sh425,000 Stefano Ricci crocodile belt during a church service in Nairobi.
With each public appearance, Ruto continues to showcase his penchant for luxury fashion, sparking both admiration and debate among Kenyans.
Whether on the pitch or in the wild, the President’s bold style choices never fail to make a statement.
