Sneakers don’t really have much of anything to do with politics so, of course, Sneaker Twitter doesn’t normally get political.
But on Wednesday President Joe Biden’s inauguration was an exception. The inauguration had everyone on sneaker Twitter buzzing. Why? Because there was an incredibly rare pair of shoes spotting walking down the steps behind Senator Amy Klobuchar while she was speaking.
The shoes flashed across everyone’s screens at home and, almost immediately, everyone knew what they were looking at. It was definitely a pair of Jordan 1’s. And definitely a pair of DIOR 1’s at that. That’s high heat stuff.
Sneaker Twitter demanded to know who it was wearing these. Who among these folks was in the culture? Who was bringing the heat to the nation’s capitol? We needed to know.

Eventually, we found out. And we also figured out that this person wasn’t the only one with heat.
But before we get into that, let’s talk about these shoes first.
