It features a luxurious soft velvet fur inside and the colour palette is inspired by Badshah's all-India tour. Some of the notable details include a heart-shaped chain holder which is Badshah's tour logo, a metallic teddy bear atop the shoelaces and his nickname 'Bad Boy' at the heel tab. You will also find 'Paagal' stitched on the interior.
