Kim Kardashian is once again finding herself at the center of an internet debate, this time over a jaw-dropping price tag attached to a pair of secondhand jeans. The reality star’s latest listing on Kardashian Kloset has sparked criticism from fans who believe the asking price is more shocking than stylish.
The controversy began after Kim Kardashian listed a pair of Chrome Hearts x Vintage Levi’s jeans on Kardashian Kloset for a reported $65,000. The jeans, described as being in “very good vintage condition,” feature handcrafted leather heart patches and come from a highly sought-after collaboration known among fashion collectors.
Kim Kardashian is facing backlash online after listing secondhand jeans for a reported $65,000
While rare Chrome Hearts pieces often command premium prices, many social media users felt Kardashian’s listing pushed things too far. According to the product description, the U.S. size 32 jeans have a shortened hem and show signs of previous wear, though they are categorized as an “extremely rare” item.
The listing quickly made its way to Reddit, where critics didn’t hold back. One user wrote, “They get so many clothes, shoes, and accessories for free from designers. It’s so tacky to then go & sell something that was given to you for free. But then again, this avaricious family is not known for having even a modicum of class.”
Another Reddit commenter took issue with the family’s resale platform altogether, writing, “The Kardashian Kloset disgusts me. God forbid they donate those clothes or some of their absurd income to people in need. They’re already insanely wealthy, but no, they have to sell their used stuff for even more money.”
Others responded with humor. One user joked, “Yes I’m going to wear the $65K jeans to the bbq,” while another simply asked, “Isn’t she a millionaire?” “They no doubt get all these items free or heavily discounted and then have the gall to sell these on, they really are so tacky and greedy,” another wrote.
The backlash is hardly the first controversy surrounding Kardashian Kloset. Over the years, members of the Kardashian family have faced criticism for reselling pre-owned luxury items at steep prices. Kim previously drew scrutiny for listing a Birkin bag for $70,000 despite what critics described as visible wear.
Meanwhile, sister Khloé Kardashian was also called out after listing some of her daughter True’s used clothing online. One Reddit user described the pricing as “absurd,” while another labeled it “utter greed.”
As criticism continues to circulate online, Kardashian has yet to publicly respond to the reaction surrounding the $65,000 jeans listing.
