Justin Bieber‘s sneakers almost got him in some trouble with the law!

The 25-year-old singer revealed on his Instagram Story that a police officer thought he had shoplifted his Off-White X Nike Air Max 90 sneakers.

The sneakers – designed by designer Virgil Abloh – features a zip-tie looped through the laces and the officer thought the design was a security tag and that they were stolen,

“Virgil, my god, bro. You freaking — you’re killing me, man!” Justin laughingly said in his Story. “I just had a cop come up to me and ask me why I still had the security tag on my shoe. What the…”

“I had to tell him, ‘Bro, it’s just fashion,” Justin explained. “I don’t know. He’s like, ‘It sure looks like a security tag.’ “I’m like, ‘Nah, bro, you can check it out.’ It looks like it though… but you’re getting me in trouble!”
