Kamala Harris Goes Sneaker Shopping And Explains Her Affinity For Converse Chucks

California senator and vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris took some time out from the campaign trail to check in with Complex and Joe La Puma‘s “Sneaker Shopping” series, an episode that took place at Black-owned Social Status in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Harris and La Puma were joined by James Whitner, the founder of The Whitaker Grp, which owns Social Status, A Ma Maniére, APB and Prosper.

While Harris has been celebrated for wearing Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers while campaigning, she admitted during her time as an undergrad at Howard University she rarely wore “tennis shoes.” She explained, “A lot of heels, sandals. Very rarely were we wearing tennis shoes. Fridays was dress-up Friday. We never dressed down, we dressed up on Fridays.”

When asked why her choice to wear a pair of Chucks caused such a sensation, Harris explained, “It has to do with the fact that we all want to go back to some basic stuff about who we are as a country.”

Harris also suggested athletic brands and all businesses providing paid sick leave and family leave. Harris said if elected, she and presidential nominee Joe Biden would push for grants and low-interest loans to help small businesses pay for the extra cost of keeping their employees safe in the midst of a pandemic.

When asked if Biden has plans to up his own sneaker game, Harris joked, “Joe’s got his aviators! Joe has a really good look.”

While female Senators are now allowed to wear pants on the Senate floor, Harris noted that dress code still prohibit wearing sneakers.

The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her care The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her career as a professional tennis player in the September issue of American Vogue.

In the cover story, which is a must read, Williams shares some thoughts on her evolution away from tennis and says,"Believe me, I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family. I don’t think it’s fair. If I were a guy, I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family. Maybe I’d be more of a Tom Brady if I had that opportunity. Don’t get me wrong: I love being a woman, and I loved every second of being pregnant with Olympia. I was one of those annoying women who adored being pregnant and was working until the day I had to report to the hospital—although things got super complicated on the other side. And I almost did do the impossible: A lot of people don’t realize that I was two months pregnant when I won the Australian Open in 2017."

The cover editorial was styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, who in 2020 became the first black woman to style a U.S. Vogue cover.

This cover was also one of the last projects hairstylist #LatishaChong worked on before  she sadly passed away in July this year.

Make-up by Raisa Flowers, nails by Dawn Sterling, and photography by Luis Alberto Rodriguez.
