The Air Jordan 11 “Legend Blue” sneakers have been in the news quite a bit since they were released back in December 2024. We’ve seen them in emotional social media posts, where family members gifted them for Christmas. We’ve seen them on plenty of “best sneakers of 2024” lists. And we’ve also seen them on the courts during recent basketball games. But who would have guessed that we’d see the Air Jordan 11 “Legend Blue” on the feet of a congressman being sworn into Congress?

From the Hardwood Courts to the Halls of Congress

Politicians aren’t known for being sneakerheads per se. Imagine seeing Obama, Biden or even Trump (who owns a sneaker line) sporting Jays in public. However, Congressman Jared Moskowitz (who can often be seen wearing high-end sneakers) definitely seems to be part of the culture. And the Florida lawmaker’s move to wear the AJ11s while being sworn in has been applauded by the sneaker community across social media platforms.

A Sneaker Fit for a Legend

The Air Jordan 11 “Legend Blue”, originally known as the “Columbia,” first made its debut on the feet of Michael Jordan back in 1996 and has since become a legend. Its pristine white upper, complemented by patent leather accents and the signature icy blue outsole, pays homage to MJ’s alma mater, the University of North Carolina.

Last seen on shelves over a decade ago, the iconic sneaker returned to stores on December 14, 2024, priced at $225. It’s no surprise, then, that they sold out fairly quickly and became one of the most sought-after releases of the year.

Congressman Jared Moskowitz’s choice to wear these awesome Air Jordan 11 “Legend Blue” kicks during his swearing-in ceremony has gained respect from sneakers. Here are some of the most interesting reactions:

  • On X, user @dadeasskickz shared an image of the congressman, captioning it, “When politics and sneaker culture collide. Respect.”
  • An Instagram post featuring Moskowitz’s ensemble garnered comments like, “This is the drip we need in Congress!” and “Setting trends on Capitol Hill.”
  • A Facebook user remarked, “Finally, a politician with sole.”

This moment highlights a growing trend of public figures embracing sneaker culture. Jordans are becoming appropriate attire for celebrities on the red carpet, athletes in the ring, and even politicians on Capitol Hill.
