The shark standing to the left of Katy Perry in the photo above (from Sunday night's ridiculous Super Bowl performance) is not just any shark: some awkward flailing dance moves, many memes and one Reddit AMA down, he's pretty much the internet's favourite sea creature. In fact, 2015's break-out star is such an overnight sensation that identical shark costumes for the masses are already on their way into production. Yesterday, New York-based menswear brand Bonobos asked their followers if they would be into the idea of buying shark costumes, and received such an overwhelming response that they immediately began teasing the beginning of the design process on Instagram. If you're interested in getting your fins on a piece of "KP land" history, you can sign up for updates on the shark suit's availability here.
