Kim Kardashian has shown off plenty of the designer stuff baby North gets on Instagram, and we guess we can include these custom-made Nike “Air Yeezy II” sneakers on the list, too:

Yes, they were designed by dad Kanye West, but they count since Kanye is a designer whose stuff sells at ridiculous prices, too, right? And these Air Yeezys aka “Red Octobers” are not only limited edition but also extremely popular, having sold out in just 11 minutes after being released on February 9. Some of the originally $245 pairs are even selling for several thousand dollars on eBay, with one infamous listing asking for as much as a cool $16.3 million.
But maybe the thrill isn’t the same when you’re Kim Kardashian and North West. Definitely not for North since she’s a baby and perhaps not for Kim who had to ask her Instagram followers what she should do with her Air Yeezy II sneakers when she received them way ahead of the release date in October 2013. But, hey, the sneakers made for a cute family shoe picture, didn’t they?
Beyonce also shared her own family’s shoe picture back in August using mom-dad-and-baby versions of Timberland boots.

Who do you think did the family shoe picture better, Kim Kardashian or Beyonce?
