Despite retiring two decades ago, Jordan remains an evergreen name. From shoes to shirts, Jordan’s name can be found everywhere. Not only are his brand’s new pieces popular, but his old shoes are also being auctioned off. Even the new generation is willing to spend thousands of dollars to buy them before others.

Janet Jackson is also riding the same wave. As a superstar singer, Janet’s taste in fashion leads her to continually add the latest items to her collection. Consequently, she keeps adding both new and old pairs of Jordans to her wardrobe. Once again, she finds herself in need of a new pair.

To acquire them, she went shopping with Complex’s Joe La Puma at Stadium Goods. The glimpse of this shopping trip was posted on Complex’s official YouTube account under the title, Janet Jackson Goes Sneaker Shopping With Complex.” While browsing for new shoes, Janet Jackson came across the Dior x Air Jordan 1s.
