Lil Kim‘s daughter Royal Reign walked the runway at the 13th Annual Rookie USA fashion show held on Sept. 6 in New York. The rapper watched on the front row as her daughter modeled a variety of Jordan-branded wears.
The young fashionista stepped on the runway in a pair of Air Jordan 1 Mid sneakers in “Blueberry” in a purple and white colorway. The high-top style was comprised of a white leather base with texturally light and dark purple structural leather accents.
The shoes included sleek deep purple lace-up detailing and purple swooshes with white and black branded labels on the tongues and sides. Additionally, the style featured thick and flexible rubber soles along with reliable tread that offered the star a non-slip experience.
Jordans have gained prominence over the last few years among the fashion crowd and Gen Zers, acting as a closet staple for many. The shoe pulls from themes of American heritage and basketball culture. Since its conception in 1985, the sneaker has proved to be one of the most recognizable silhouettes.
