He's the Olympic gold medalist who made India pride on an international platform in a sport that we had hardly heard about and she's the queen of Bollywood, the wife of one India's most loved cricketers. So, what could they have in common, can you take a guess?

​Youth icons

Both the celebrities are youth icons and have a massive fan following in the country.

​Slayers

Besides being icons, they are also fashionistas in their own right. While Anushka has made relatable fashion a thing of reality in Bollywood, girls are crushing over Neeraj's athleisure style.

Shoe twins

And, both the stars are shoe lovers. So much so that they ended up wearing the same pair of shoes recently. Both the duo recently flaunted their respective Nike Air Jordan 1 sneakers in dark mocha.

The shoes

The shoes employ a new twist on a familiar colour scheme: dark mocha. Continuing its rich history with the Jordan Brand, the crisp mocha colour blocking on soft nubuck leather gives this OG a clean and subtle look.

The price

At the time of their release, they were priced at INR 13,995 but Jordans are mostly sold out and cost a bomb in the resale market. These beauties loved by both Anushka and Neeraj cost a whopping INR 75,000 on resale.

​They have company in Deepika Padukone

Early this year, Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone was spotted dining out with friends. She picked up an all-black outfit for the night out. Deepika sported a black tank top along with loose joggers and she finished off the look with Nike Air Jordan 1 sneakers in dark mocha, the same pair, owned by both Anushka and Neeraj.
