Kardashian Family Fashion Feud: Nike x Skims Debut
In a moment that pulled attention across North American fashion circles, Kim Kardashian navigated a tense exchange with Kris Jenner over a blog post and the timing of a high-profile advertising arrangement. The rumors center on a collaboration tying the Kim-owned Skims label to Nike, while a separate post on a fashion blog highlighted clothing lines from Alo Yoga. Kris Jenner was seen on a stair landing in a dark gray tracksuit with long white socks and sneakers, a moment that sparked chatter about how ad disclosures are handled within the family. The blog’s coverage did not tag Kardashian in the repost, raising questions about identity and promotion in the digital era.
The model’s team and public supporters say the dispute was about messaging and the sequence of publications, not a genuine clash of values. Kardashian’s comments on the same day as the Nike x Skims collaboration announcement were pointed: “Should the press release and product reveal happen on the same day?” A prominent business figure commented online, adding to the sense of a calculated, coordinated rollout that fans scrutinize closely.
The previous day, Kardashian attended a closed event marking the 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live. For the occasion, she chose a silver Balenciaga Couture maxi dress, pairing it with a Hermès Kellymorphoz Kelly Sac Bijou—an ultra-rare micro-bag, valued by collectors and priced in the high five figures. The ensemble showcased how Kardashian blends couture silhouettes with modern, highly coveted accessories, creating a balanced yet striking look for a formal showcase.
Earlier discussions around the family included rumors about Kardashian’s connections with influential figures of the era, including mentions of conversations with the daughter of a former U.S. president. While tabloids and entertainment outlets often surface such links, they reflect the ongoing interest in how Kardashian intersects with politics, business, and media narratives. In North American fashion coverage, these elements converge to paint a portrait of a celebrity whose influence extends beyond clothing to cultural conversation itself.
