Sneakers at the presidential inauguration?
Well, yeah, but they weren't just any old pair of sneakers.

Nikolas Ajagu — the husband of Kamala Harris' niece, Meena, and the father of the Vice President's adorable grand nieces — was spotted wearing Dior x Air Jordan 1 Retros at Wednesday's swearing-in ceremony. The swanky shoes retail for $2,000 but have been spotting on the resale market for more than $25,000.
At first, it was unclear who donned the flashy sneaks while trotting down the Capitol steps over Senator Amy Klobuchar's shoulder. But in a less-than-enthusiastic tweet published during the inauguration ceremony, Meena Harris confirmed that the unidentified man was, in fact, her husband.

While it was Kamala Harris who made history as the first woman, first Black person, and first Asian American to become vice president of the United States, it was her nephew-in-law who was named as head of the newly-formed "Department of Drip."
