Prepare to be very jealous of President Obama's custom Air Jordans
It's good being president. Not only do you get to hang with celebs like Tom Hanks and Solange, you also get some pretty cool gear.
No, we're not talking about President Barack Obama's dad jeans. On Monday, he got a visit from the Chicago Cubs, who presented him with his very own personalized pair of Air Jordans.

The Cubs were at the White House to celebrate their World Series victory. Center fielder Dexter Fowler showed off the kicks — complete with presidential seal on the tongue and Obama's signature on the side — on The Players' Tribune Instagram page.
Obama seemed pretty happy to see the Cubs, even though he's a fan of their crosstown rivals, the Chicago White Sox. He also made a joke about the team visiting less than a week before Donald Trump takes office.
"They said this day would never come," Obama said, according to ESPN. "I will say to the Cubs, it took you long enough. I only have four days left. You're just making it under the wire."
Last season's NBA MVP, Steph Curry, also unveiled a special shoe for Obama

Seeing as Curry and Under Armour were mocked last year for their "dad shoes," this might actually be a more appropriate sneaker for Obama, who has been known to crack a dad joke or two.
