Twitter blew up immediately after, with followers asking who had the “decency” to wear Dior 1 sneakers.

Vice President Kamala Harris’s niece, Meena, confirmed on Twitter that the sneakers were worn by her husband, Nikolas Agaju.

Later on, she found out Agaju’s rare sneakers shot up to #1 on Twitter’s trending topics.

“I step away from Twitter for less than an hour for the Inauguration Ceremony and Nik’s shoes are #1 Trending???” she wrote on Twitter.

A Twitter user shared a screenshot to Harris, and replied with “Yes smh (shake my head).” She also said her husband dedicated a “whole suitcase” for his sneakers and only took them along because “it made him happy.,” according to a thread on her Twitter account.

The “Dior 1″ sneakers were a collaboration between fashion brands Dior and Air Jordan who released a limited amount of pairs sold at around $2,000 each, according to GQ Magazine.

Here are some of Twitter’s best reactions to the stylish shoes.
