Today white smoke billowed from the hot box that is the Sistine Chapel. Out from it emerged the new pope, Pope Francis I, 76-year-old Jorge Mario Bergoglio from Argentina. Though we haven't got a look at his footwork yet, we figure on it being the traditional red slip-ons. Well, as the first leader of the church to come from South America in over 1,000 years, we figure His Holiness should step his game up. With that said, check out 10 Sneakers The New Pope Should Wear Instead of Those Red Slippers. Viva il Papa!
