Call it a fashion flop.
Kim Kardashian attended son Saint’s soccer game alongside daughter North in LA Sunday, dressing down for the family outing in a Balenciaga logo hoodie ($995), matching leggings and flip-flops that resembled the disposable pairs distributed at nail salons.
But the Skims founder, 41, wasn’t coming to the game straight from a pedicure; her rubber footwear, also by Balenciaga, will set you back $450.
Kardashian’s no stranger to head-scratching shoes, of course. She’s stepped out in some of estranged husband Kanye West’s most polarizing footwear creations over the years, from the $6,000 pearl-beaded behemoths he sent down his first runway in 2011 to 2019’s “Yeezy Crocs.”
More recently, she’s made a case for “pantashoes,” Balenciaga’s $3,000 leggings featuring built-in boots.
It makes sense that the reality superstar would embrace the luxury label’s stepped-up salon sandals, as she dresses almost exclusively in Balenciaga (whether she’s at the Met Gala or Paris Fashion Week) these days and even stars in the house’s spring 2022 campaign.
Following Saint’s game on Sunday, Kardashian even wore a bright blue Balenciaga gown to Vanity Fair’s afterparty.
Her ex West, 44, is a huge fan of the brand as well, having initially introduced Kardashian to Balenciaga creative director Demna Gvasalia.
At least the trio can still agree on their shared love for wacky (and wildly expensive) shoes.
