His outfit featured a combination that was unheard of till now. Speed’s outfit consisted of a black and white tuxedo, neatly finished off with a tie. However, fans are more concerned with his footwear. Instead of Oxford or Brogue shoes, Speed chose to wear Yeezy Foam Runners to the gala.
Fans on Twitter have reacted to the hilarious outfit, with Erling Haaland chipping in as well. The YouTuber met with the Norwegian striker prior to the ceremony. Haaland asked looking at the unusual choice of footwear.
What's with the shoes?!
However, the player later said that he liked it. However, Speed quickly hit back, saying:
What's with the hair bro?!

Speed links up with Vinicius, Ruben Dias and Bernardo Silva
IShowSpeed was in his element as Lionel Messi lifted the 2023 Ballon d’Or. The 18-year-old did not miss a single beat, as he bombarded multiple footballers, engaging in conversation and posing for pictures. The YouTuber met with Vinicius Jr., who was in attendance to receive the Socrates Award for his humanitarian efforts.
Speed after meeting with Real Madrid said:
Brazil for life, I love you man.
Vinicius said, “Parado no Bailão,” and Speed said the same. The two later posed for pictures. Speed then approached Portuguese duo Bernardo Silva and Ruben Dias. The Manchester City teammates were made to listen to a concocted story on the spot. Speed addressed the duo as his Portuguese ‘brothers’.
Speed then told a tale about being born in Angola but spending 5 years of his childhood in “Madeira, Lisbon.” He mentioned he now lives in Ohio and invited Ruben Dias to visit. He also asked Bernardo Silva how he managed to control the ball so well. This got the Man City teammates laughing, and Speed became the viral sensation of the ceremony.
