Maduro's Nike tracksuit sells out after arrest photo

Nicolas Maduro, the president of Venezuela, was arrested by US forces.

A photo of him wearing a grey Nike tracksuit during the arrest went viral.

People around the world started buying the same tracksuit, and it sold out quickly.

While world leaders were discussing the political situation, many were more focused on Maduro's outfit.

The internet can make anything popular, and this time, it was his tracksuit that got everyone's attention.

Memes and AI-generated content also flooded the internet, making it difficult to distinguish satire from misleading content.
