It’s been one year since “Tiger King” took the world by storm.
The star of the Netflix documentary, Joe Exotic (real name Joe Maldonado-Passage), is celebrating the anniversary by launching a footwear collection from behind bars!
The shoes are an extension of Joe’s “Revenge” collection from the brand Odaingerous.
And there’s nothing subtle about them.
In true Exotic fashion, they feature animal print and gold accents along with Italian leather.
Only the best from the Oklahoma zookeeper!
Joe didn’t miss an opportunity to take a dig at his nemesis, Carole Baskin, as he named the shoes “Dapper Dons” after her missing husband, Don Lewis.
In the documentary, Joe accused Baskin of killing her husband and possibly feeding him to the tigers. Carole has refuted the claims. She has never been charged.
There are three shoes in the collection, per TMZ.
The Dapper Don Trainer features a wedge heel and padded straps.
The Dapper Don Sneaker is a low-top shoe.
And the Revenge Exotic 1 is a traditional tennis shoe.
The prices range from $219 to $252. All shoes come in a not-so-subtle tiger print box.

The shoes will be available for purchase on Saturday, which marks one-year since the documentary’s premiere.
Joe already has a fashion line and an underwear line, which he also launched from prison. The collection, which sold-out immediately upon its release, is made out of 100% cotton and features tiger and leopard prints.
The former Oklahoma zookeeper was sentenced to 22 years in prison for his role in a murder-for-hire plot against Carole; violating the Endangered Species Act for killing five tigers; and claiming he was donating tigers, lions and a lemur for exhibitions but actually selling them.
In early January, he failed in his bid to be pardoned by Donald Trump.
He’s serving his sentence at Federal Medical Center Fort Worth.
