When Kamala Harris [1] becomes vice president on Inauguration Day, she's going to accomplish a lot of firsts — including being the first office-holder to wear Converse sneakers [2] while accomplishing her VP duties. During an interview on CBS News Sunday Morning [3], Kamala talked about her lifelong love for "Chucks," which her husband, Doug Emhoff, happily backed up.

"[Converse are] my casual go-to," Kamala explained. "You know, I grew up with Chucks. I just love them. They're comfortable." Doug joked she has "several closets full of them" ("He's exaggerating," Kamala responded) and she didn't start wearing the shoes on the campaign trail. "When I met her, it was Chucks and jeans," he said.

Indeed, Kamala's Converse connection has followed her all the way to the White House, including her February Vogue cover [4] which was released last weekend. For Doug, the sneakers are an extension of his wife's "down-to-earth" personality: "People ask me all the time, like, 'What's she really like?' I said, 'She's shockingly normal.' I think that is really an extension of who she really is."
