Kim Kardashian shared a slideshow of photos to her Instagram today of her daughter North West huddled close to her friend. The snapshots showed the young girls holding, likely faux, samurai swords. The post was accompanied by a caption that read, “Samurai Sisters.”
Reaching new heights, West stepped into a pair of lofty black calf-length platform boots. The young social media star’s boots were crafted of jet-black patent leather, giving the style a glossy finish, and featured a chunky construction with angular squared toes and thick platform soles that offered her a lift.
The grungy footwear was rounded out with chunky and walkable block heels that reached an estimated 3 inches in height. The block heels offered West a substantial lift in addition to the platform soles. Platform styles of all kinds are a go-to of many top stars thanks in part to their height-boosting abilities. The style is often associated with the colder months but makes appearances in sandal and ankle boot varieties during just about every season.

Casually clad, West wore what appeared to be a dark gray Jiu Jitsu gi in an oversized boxy style layered overtop a similarly large Wu-Tang graphic T-shirt, also in gray. Donning designer, the 10-year-old fashionista accessorized her look with a lime green Dior saddle shoulder bag constructed of sturdy leather featuring shiny gold monogrammed accents.
While she’s starting to style footwear in the heeled variety, North’s shoe style is often sporty and comfortable. She is known for often wearing chunky Yeezy sneakers, including custom designs, as well as fluffy slide sandals by children’s brands including Akid. However, in recent months, she’s also adopted an edgy aesthetic, wearing styles like leather combat boots and Balenciaga’s nameplate platform Crocs clogs.
