"So this is the 'wear your pearls and Chuck Taylors to the polls' year?" asked Tracy O'Connell Novick.
Stanford University professor Dr. Cesar Padilla has noted that there is a powerful underlying political message in Harris' choice of sneaker.
"Kamala Harris’s shoes - Chuck Taylor’s/Tims are worn in working class (Black/Latinx) neighborhoods," Padilla wrote in 2020. "Kids wearing Vans/Jordan’s/Tims should imagine walking into the White House as Prez/VP."
