Janet Jackson must have friends in high places because she got a hold of a brand new pair of Air Force 1 sneakers that Nike made in collaboration with Colin Kaepernick!
The shoes reportedly sold out in minutes when they hit the market last week after millions of sneakerheads tried to cop a pair. Janet hit up a few contacts and was able to snag a pair that feature the 32-year-old activist's face on the back. She shared a few pics to her Instagram to thank the shoe's collaborator.
"Thank you CK for my sneaks. I love’em ? @Kaepernick7," Janet wrote in the caption of her post.

If you recall, Colin kneeled during the Nation Anthem in protest of police violence in the United States and it is probably coincidental but it is worth noting that Janet did not pose kneeling or standing when she showed off the shoes.
She lounged back like a boss and rested her legs on what looked like a first-class airplane seat, which makes sense because she just flew across the pond to celebrate her kid's 3rd birthday. Anyways, no political statement here, just some sweet looking kicks.

Jackson was overwhelmed by the response she got from her millions of fans after she posted a sweet tribute to her baby Eissa. She posted a chic throwback photo when she was sporting a growing baby bump.
"3 yrs ago today God blessed me, at the age of 50, with the greatest gift of all," she wrote in the caption of her post. "My baby! Happy Bday sweetheart. Mama loves you more than anything else in this world! ???"
She later posted several hundred messages of love and support that her fans sent her on Eissa's special day.

"London Calling!"
Janet jet-setted to London right after she celebrated New Year's in New York City. She obviously went to the UK to see her baby. She shares baby Eissa with her estranged husband, multi-billionaire businessman Wissam Saleh Al Mana.
It looked like she enjoyed the little vacation after wrapping up several shows in Australia and New Zeland. She shared a picturesque photo to her IG story that showed the London skyline and captioned it, "#londontown."
She is always on the move!
