Kim Kardashian has been savaged by fans for reselling Yeezy shoes priced at $375, due to speculation her estranged husband Kanye West gave them to her for free.
The billionaire reality star, 41, is flogging the mesh caged heels on her family’s Kardashian Kloset website, where they have been known to multiply prices by up to nine times more than other outlets.
One shopper took a screenshot of the now-sold out listing, before taking to Reddit to vent their anger, writing: ‘Not Kim out here selling her Yeezy sandals ✋ I can’t lmao.’
‘She didn’t even pay for them!’ Kim Kardashian has been savaged by fans for reselling Yeezy shoes priced at $375, due to speculation her ex husband Kanye West gave them to her for free
Another chimed in: ‘Selling stuff you’ve gotten for free when you’re already a ‘billionaire’ is so GROSS… I’m lucky enough to get some nice free s**t as part of my job… and even I couldn’t imagine selling it.’
A third said: ‘Still kinda wack to sell stuff to the public that you got for free tho.’
A fourth noted: ‘She didn’t even pay for those,’ while a fourth reasoned: ‘Am I the only one uncomfortable with her selling stuff she didn’t pay for?’
‘They’re billionaires for a reason,’ a final penned.

In October, Kris, Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kylie and Kendall set up Kardashian Kloset, where they recycle their expensive wardrobes and claim to be ‘promoting sustainability’, according to the website.
But the prices are far from justified and often much more expensive than rival sites selling identical items. Kim is the worst culprit, flogging a Celine brown python blazer for $3,000, when it’s available elsewhere for $380, nearly nine times less.
There’s no mention of any of the proceeds going to charity, despite the family being multi-millionaires, with Kylie said to be the world’s youngest billionaire.
Even their brother Rob has got in on the act and there’s now a ‘men’s range’, which is full of XL and XXL sweatpants and shirts.

But it’s not quite the money spinner the family may have thought – with hundreds of items being reduced in price. Kris has the biggest collection with over 340 products on sale, half have been sold, but another 40 percent are reduced.
In November, the self-styled ‘momager’ Kris put on a custom-made Gucci Mink fur coat for $50,000. There are many other examples of clothes remaining unsold for months on end, perhaps, due to the high price tags.
Some of ‘momager’ Kris’ reptile-skinned bags come at an inflated price such as a ‘brown, shiny crocodile Hermes 35 Birkin handbag’, which costed $67,500, but on rival luxury resale site The RealReal it was only $32,000 – both in excellent condition.
Her ‘black leather Hermes Birkin 40 bag’ had costed $14,400 where at The RealReal it was $11,900.

A ‘blue indigo Hermes Shark Bolide handbag’ went for $23,500, but was just $15,000 on The RealReal.
She was also selling a ‘brown Hermes alligator leather, ‘Good luck’ clutch’ for $15,000, which was advertised for $9,550 on online luxury mall, Malleries.
A Chanel handbag black leather handbag’, costed $6,000 on Kardashian Closet, but just $3,610 at Fashionphile.
Meanwhile, daughter Kim previously sold an Alaia black python leather ankle boots for $1,000, which could be bought for as little as $375 from competitors.

Surprisingly, Kim is the least popular, she had over 40 items on sale, but at the time of publishing only 14 had been purchased.
Kylie was the most prolific after her mom Kris, but has been forced to cut the price of over 220 products – with just three not on sale.
Kendall has a limited range, with 16 items and there’s not a bargain to be had, with a plastic Chanel see-through bag with a magazine print inside the two sides costing $1,800 – but is still sold out.
The family are even selling their kids’ clothes, with a pair of Gucci red and purple tights for a one-year-old being sold for $125,000 and a Burberry sweatshirt and pants for $200.

Rob is the most surprising addition to the site with a range of extra-large attire including PRPS trousers with a 42-inch waist and a Gucci XXL tracksuit top for a staggering $1,100.
The Yeezy shoe line, which get its moniker from Kanye’s nickname, launched in 2009 with Nike, with an average cost of $215 per shoe, they soon became an collectors item due to their limited stock – selling resale at $3000.
He stayed with Nike until 2014, releasing two Air Yeezys and the Air Yeezys Two, but left for Adidas when they said they would offer him royalties on the shoes, that Nike wouldn’t.
The deal Kanye got from Adidas was described as ”unprecedented deal’ for 15 per cent royalty on wholesale.
In 2015, he also launched a Yeezy clothing line, the opening show, Yeezy Season One, saw some of the biggest names in fashion and showbiz in the front row, including Vogue editor Anna Wintour, Beyonce, Diddy, Alexander Wang, Beyonce and his wife Kim Kardashian.
The collection was known for its basic, stripped down, ready-to-wear style which drew influence from flesh coloured tones and military clothing.
