I don't know what shoes NYPD Chief Aaron Edwards was wearing while leaping a fence and running into harm's way, but...

I'm guessing they weren't Florsheims.

Someone buy this guy a cape. Gotham City has a new Superman.

NYPD Chief Aaron Edwards, literally springing into action on the way to stopping Gracie Mansion bombers Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi on March 7th, 2026:

And I’m guessing Rockports.

5. Whoever took this picture

Sure was in the right place at the right time with a quick thought process to get this photo. It's great.

6. look at his eyes

what focus! It's like he's already captured him with his eyes!

Agree this is an incredible photo. I can't even fathom jumping over a bike rack like that. This officer has a good deal of confidence in his abilities.

7. I wonder whether

this image is full frame or if it was cropped. Also, was it shot in B&W originally? Or is there a color version too?

8. I'm guessing it's cropped.

I think the out of focus twigs in front of him on the left suggest more foreground depth in the original photo than we see here. That and the framing is so perfect-- not that it couldn't be achieved in camera, but in the the instant it's hard unless you're in exactly the right spot.
