1. I think that the Cuban National Baseball team wears that track suit.

So, Castro probably got one too. He's a baseball fan. BTW, The Cuban team is very good.

2. Why? It's the top shoe INTERNATIONALLY, and has been since before WW2

3. Besides
He's 80 years old & still gets around - sounds like an good placement for a sports equipment company (though I haven't worn their shoes since New Balance started making their shoes in the USA again.)
