Vladimir Putin is a hipster

Vladimir Zizzou

Adam Raymond argues that Russian president Vladimir Putin is becoming a hipster.

He wears statement sunglasses that are neither practical nor all that good looking.

He also wears comically oversized headphones.

He accessorizes with rare items in order to one-up his friends. In one case, he may have even stole a Super Bowl ring โ€” from the owner of the New England Patriots.
