Is Steve Madden trolling Antonio Brown? The Oakland Raiders wide receiver seems to think so.

Brown called out the shoe company Tuesday on Twitter over the "Antonia Brown Snake" sneaker featured on its website.

"Antonia" is a line of shoes sold by Steve Madden. The "brown" and "snake" descriptors pertain to a particular design.

One Pittsburgh Steelers fan decided to have some fun with Brown's tweet by leaving a five-star review for the shoe.

"AB, on behalf of this great city of Pittsburgh, we forgive you for leaving us," the fan wrote. "We hope you can return to this city one day when the bitterness of our fan base expires. Thanks again for the two TD balls!!"
