The devil may wear Prada, but the Pope wears... Nike

A trailer released by Vatican News for the documentary "Leone a Roma," which marks one year of the pontificate of Pope Leo XIV, has gone viral for an unusual detail that was not part of the official production narrative.

In a short fragment of the video, the Pope is seen wearing his liturgical vestments, while underneath them a pair of white Nike sneakers are clearly visible, with the brand's distinctive black logo.

According to online sneaker communities, the model identified is the Nike Franchise Low, a tennis-originated design from the 70s.

Born in Chicago as Robert Prevost, Pope Leo XIV has a well-known connection to American sports and culture. He is a supporter of the Chicago White Sox and lived in the city that shaped Michael Jordan's Bulls era, a detail that makes his possible affinity for sports brands like Nike less surprising.

The documentary itself deals with his years in Rome before his election to the head of the Holy See and is the third Vatican Media production dedicated to his figure, after "León de Perú" and "Leo from Chicago".

For now, neither the Vatican nor Nike have reacted to the footage that has ignited the internet, but the video has been enough to turn a brief archival moment into a global phenomenon of media attention.
