DEDHAM, Mass — WWE superstar John Cena paid tribute to a North Shore icon during Saturday’s Wrestlemania 39 event.
The West Newbury native sported Kowloon-themed sneakers at the wrestling event in Los Angeles.
The kicks were designed by a local fashion artist, @blueswaydshoes on Instagram.
The kicks sport some of the Saugus restaurant’s Asian-themed iconography, familiar to anyone that’s ever driven down Route 1in Saugus.
“Thank you @JohnCena for wearing our Kowloon Nike Sneakers at Wrestlemania 39 in LA!,” Kowloon wrote on Twitter.
