"You are not a complete man until you have a pair of this quality leather and colour. These things you need @Mukulaa and @mukizs help to understand them. As you can tell I am not speaking to anyone making leas than 6m a month," he tweeted. "This pair could cost you no less than 1m on the cheap."
Netizens wondered why someone who could afford such a shoe was struggling to paint a house.
