For $129.99 you can dance around in your very own Left Shark hooded jumpsuit. Or you can opt for the $25 Left Shark T-shirt, also available on the pop singer's official website.

The aquatic dancer emerged during last month's Super Bowl XLIX halftime show, where his uncoordinated dance moves made him a social media sensation. He inspired cookie cutters, t-shirts, onesies, and a slew of other merchandise on craft and e-commerce websites.
