Cam Newton did his talking both on and off the field Sunday, in more ways than one.
On the field, the Carolina Panthers quarterback helped his team bounce back with a 30-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals. After the game, he drew headlines by railing against the NFL’s poor officiating and lack of focus on player safety.
But anyone who brought a camera to Newton’s postgame press conference found another story in the absolutely absurd outfit he wore as he stepped to the podium.

There’s a lot to unpack here, from the preposterous feathered cap to the all-pink suit to whatever those shoes are. Naturally, the internet weighed in with its two cents.

Oh, and about those shoes, which run for a cool $1,100, according to ESPN’s Darren Rovell:
