Diamond Grillz and $22,000 Sneakers: North West's Christmas Sparks Debate

A 12-year-old rocking $22,000 sneakers for the holidays is bound to turn heads. North West, the daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, set the internet ablaze on Christmas Day, 2025, with a series of high-fashion photos shared on her parent-run Instagram account. The young star’s festive look was anything but traditional, featuring rare designer pieces and custom jewelry.

The $22,000 Holiday Swagger

In the carousel of images, North showcased a custom set of diamond "shark" grillz designed by Johnny Dang. Reports suggest she’s been dreaming of these custom-fitted accessories for a while. She paired the bold jewelry with a Balenciaga Tat hoodie and matching sweatpants, topped off with sold-out Chrome Hearts x Rick Owens sneakers valued at $22,000 on resale platforms.

The photos, captured at the family’s Hidden Hills estate and on a private jet, also featured a bright blue Chrome Hearts Silichrome Infinity Cross Ring that perfectly matched her hair. It's clear that for the Kardashian-West household, Christmas is as much about high fashion as it is about family.

Public Divided Over 'Adult' Aesthetic

While fans praised North’s confidence, calling her an "iconic" fashionista, critics weren't as impressed. Many argued that the content was inappropriate for a 12-year-old, with some even questioning parental responsibility. Comments ranging from "nepotism is crazy" to concerns about "youth endangerment" flooded social media platforms.

This public debate mirrors the ongoing friction between her parents. Kim Kardashian has defended North’s right to express creativity under supervision. Meanwhile, Kanye West has been vocal about his dislike for his daughter’s presence on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, stating he doesn't want her being "used" by social media.
