While Amy Klobuchar spoke at Joe Biden’s opening on Wednesday, the cameras caught a glimpse of someone coming down the Capitol stairs wearing ultra-rare Dior 1 sneakers.
Immediately, the hunt started – at least on Twitter – for those who had the courage and style to wear the collaboration between Dior and Air Jordan.
The much sought-after sneakers stayed at the feet of Nikolas Ajagu, whose partner Meena Harris is the niece of new vice president Kamala Harris.
Ajagu’s identity was revealed when a Getty Images photo showed more than just his feet when he was captured taking a photo with the couple’s daughters, Amara and Leela.
Meena Harris also confirmed her partner’s outfit when someone asked if that was Ajagu wearing Dior 1s: “Yes smh” she answered.
Before anyone tries to embarrass Ajagu for wearing sneakers at the inauguration, know that your shoes cost more than most on the Capitol steps. The Dior 1s, which debuted in 2020, cost $ 2,000 and cost up to $ 7,000 on some tennis resale sites.
When Ajagu’s sneakers started to become a trend on Twitter, Meena Harris was amused by her new fame, tweeting: “I am away from Twitter for less than an hour for the opening ceremony and Nik’s shoes are in first place ?????”
Ajagu is the head of global partnerships on Facebook and was the founder of Barrel & Ink and Code & Canvas.
Meena Harris, a lawyer, recently released her first children’s book “The Great Idea of Kamala and Maya”, based on the life of her mother and aunt. Meena Harris also worked on the Kamala Harris Senate campaign.
