We are used to seeing him in a formal look all suited up.
During his bromance with Uhuru Kenyatta in Nyanza, veteran opposition leader Raila Odinga shelved that all-formal appearance and opted to be somewhat casual.
To reinforce that casual look, he sported blue sneakers that had white soles.
They gave him that sporty and youthful look as he entertained the president in his backyard.
He was seen in the shoes on various occasions: During Bruce Odhiambo's burial, launching the dredging vessel to help deal with the hyacinth menace, and at a church in Siaya during the memorial of his late father Jaramogi Oginga.
Raila had clearly fallen in love with the pair of shoes.
Watching him decked out in the footwear, one got the impression that the seasoned political operator still has the energy to go.
The shoes proved a point, that Kenya's seasoned opposition leader is capable of cool sartorial choices.
