"A type of shoe named after the man who tried to hit former US President George W. Bush with his own footwear has reportedly become a top seller in north-eastern Bangladesh. Shops in the city of Sylhet have reportedly dubbed a black and brown lace-up the &amp;quot;Zaidi shoe&amp;quot; after journalist Muntazer al-Zaidi who was imprisoned following the incident at a press conference in Iraq last year. Store owner Abdul Awal told AFP: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s the latest fad in Sylhet. Everyone wants to be wearing the Zaidi. &amp;quot;It looks like your average men&amp;#039;s dress shoe but it&amp;#039;s been sold for up to 2,200 taka (\u00C2\u00A320) which is at the very top end of the market in Bangladesh.&amp;quot; Businessman Faruq Mahmud Chowdhury said: &amp;quot;Younger men especially are buying the shoes as a mark of their respect to Zaidi.&amp;quot; Zaidi was released early for good behaviour this week after nine months&amp;#039; imprisonment. His initial three-year sentence was reduced to one year on appeal. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
