Justin Bieber was stopped and questioned by police officers who thought that he was wearing a pair of stolen sneakers.
The Love Yourself hitmaker was wearing a pair of limited edition Off-White X Nike Air Max 90 sneakers, which are from a sold-out collaboration between the iconic sports label and artistic director of Louis Vuitton's men's wear collection, Virgil Abloh.
The shoes feature a white zip tie looped through the laces, which police officers mistakenly thought looked like a security tag.
Taking to Instagram Stories, the What Do You Mean? star recounted the incident to fans, joking that the designer had set him up.
“I just had a cop come up to me and ask me why I still had the security tag on my shoe,” the 25-year-old said while speaking to the camera. “I had to tell him, ‘Bro, it’s just fashion'.”
Justin tagged the esteemed designer in the clip and showed off the high-end sneakers, which he wore with a pair of khaki corduroy pants.
The Love Yourself singer continued by detailing the conversation that he had with the police officer, in which he expressed his disbelief at the situation.
"He’s like, 'It sure looks like a security tag' (and) I’m like, ‘Nah, bro, you can check it out.’
"You’re getting me in trouble!” he joked, addressing Virgil directly.
The limited edition sneakers, which were released in January (19), originally retailed for around $160 (£122) but are now being resold for as much as $600 (£457).
