American curler Matt Hamilton has got unbelievable swag and the internet has taken notice.

He’s without a doubt the most American American at the Winter Games in China.

Matt Hamilton has got it all. Matt Hamilton IS America.

According to the Associated Press

Hamilton is a bit of a sneakerhead, so some friends bought him a pair from the collection of skateboarding champion Paul Rodriguez. They were converted to curling shoes by attaching a gripper on one sole and a slider on the other.

“I just thought they’re sweet,” Hamilton said before the Americans opened their gold medal defense with a round-robin match against the Russians. “Here we are with some wild shoes.”

But hey, don’t take the media’s word for all of that. Hamilton himself checked in on a Reddit thread that was hyping up his incredible drip.

Matt Hamilton keeps in touch with his many fans

“For anyone wondering, they are indeed the ‘what the p-rod’s’ and I did have them altered for curling,” Hamilton replied. “Teflon on the left shoe for sliding, a soft rubber attached to the right for grip, and a toe dip (tough toe) on my right shoe to reduce drag while sliding.”

“Tell us more about that glorious mane you have under that hat,” Redditor DarknessMage then asked him.

“Growing it out to donate it!” Hamilton responded. “Probably in March when I get home. Check out stachestrong.org.”

“It was really to stop the super mario memes, we all know,” KBooks66 shot back.

“I love Mario! I’m here for all the Mario memes,” Hamilton replied, because of course he did. Two months ago he hosted his very own “Ask Me Anything” on the platform.

The internet, rightly so, cannot get enough of him.

Oh yeah, the stylish American curler from Madison, Wisconsin is also pretty damn good. He won a gold medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics. The same Olympics where he went viral because he looked like a doppelganger for Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid.
