In a regular season game between the Rockets and Lakers, World Peace embodies anything but peace on the court by chucking Trevor Ariza&#8217;s lost shoe into the media row. Peep Ariza&#8217;s body language after his shoe gets tossed.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Metta World Peace Laces Up Mismatched Shoes at St. John&#8217;s<\/h3>\n<p>Metta World Peace demanded attention even before he hit the pros. During one regular season game at St. John&#8217;s, World Peace opted to wear mismatched shoes: one\u00a0Nike Air Uptempo Max and one &#8220;Black Toe&#8221; Air Jordan 14. Who else had the audacity to try this in college? Plus, where was Coach Jarvis during this time?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Metta World Peace Wears Mismatched Shoes Twice in 2004 NBA All-Star Game<\/h3>\n<p>In Metta World Peace&#8217;s only appearance in an All-Star Game, he made it a memorable one in regard to sneakers. We&#8217;ve seen players switch shoes at halftime, but World Peace switched mismatched pairs at halftime and ultimately wore four shoes in one game. Specifically, he wore one Dada Spinner and one AND1 shoe in the first half before switching to one Huarache 2k4 and one adidas a3 Superstar ultra in the 2004 NBA All-Star Game.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Metta World Peace Announces New Shoe Deal on Twitter<\/h3>\n<p>Twitter is more than just another social media outlet. It has now become a source of world-breaking news, marketing campaigns and a platform for announcements. World Peace used Twitter for the latter by introducing his new shoe deal with Ball&#8217;N. The Photoshopped promotion cover also served to familiarizing his audience with his Ball&#8217;N mixtape, which he executive produced.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Metta World Peace Explains How the Ball&#8217;N Shoe Helps His Game<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jdXQlBhP0K8\" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>No press release needed.

Ever.<\/p>\n<p>After World Peace tweeted about having plantar fasciitis in both his feet during the 2009-2010 NBA season, Jackson responded by suggesting that his foot problems stem from his shoes. &#8220;I called his shoes concrete boots for about the last month,&#8221; Jackson said in reference of World Peace&#8217;s Peak basketball sneakers. &#8220;Those shoes look like they&#8217;re made for the Hudson River.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Huh?
