Travis Barker recently showed his newborn son Rocky Thirteen Barker a heartfelt gesture. Whether this can redeem him in the eyes of Kourtney Kardashian fans remains to be seen.
The well-known artist, who welcomed a kid in November alongside wife Kourtney Kardashian, displayed a pair of customized sneakers bearing the name of his child.
This heartfelt homage comes at a time when Travis's public appearances since the birth of his baby have drawn scrutiny.
Since November 1, when Rocky arrived, Travis has been seen a few occasions without Kourtney, who is spending her time at home tending to the newborn.
Kourtney, 44, talked about her postpartum experiences on social media around this time. She stressed the value of a gradual approach to postpartum recuperation in one of her posts, writing, "7 weeks postpartum: first day at the gym doing 30 minutes walking 3.0 12.0 incline. Relaxing, mamas-don't rush or feel pressed for time. Your body is recuperating. It's not a competition."
She is approaching her own recovery with the same care and patience that this advise reflects.

Fans and followers have expressed disapproval of some of Travis's recent behavior, though, including his outings and the couple's open shows of affection.
One prominent topic of conversation has been the name of their baby, Rocky Thirteen, which Travis had indicated he liked because it was associated with his favorite band and song.
During a talk with his daughter Alabama, Travis expressed his fondness for Rocky Thirteen. That's the name that has been on repeat in my mind recently." Fans on Reddit speculated about the dynamics of their relationship's decision-making process in response to this name, which caused some backlash.
One user commented, "Her allowing this baby's name to be Rocky Thirteen will confirm for me that he is controlling."
Another added, "Yeah I don't like that the new kid's name is completely Travis's interest... He seems very controlling and the only reason why Kourtney accepts it is because he loves her and is devoted to her."
Debates regarding the couple's public character were further stoked by their loving conduct on the red carpet at the Emmy Awards, particularly after it was filmed that Travis seemed to lick Kourtney's face. A Reddit user remarked on this, stating, "What is this? In the middle of the Emmy's."
