During Paris Fashion Week on March 1, 2020, Kourtney Kardashian joined sister Kim Kardashian in supporting Kanye West’s Sunday Service at the Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord in Paris, France.
While Balmain’s coordinated latex looks drew immediate attention, the outing also highlighted three distinct footwear choices: Kourtney’s pointed-toe black leather ankle boots, Kim’s caramel Balmain latex ankle-strap sandals, and Kanye West’s then-unreleased adidas Yeezy 451 prototype, which would later evolve into the commercially released Yeezy 450.

The intimate performance attracted members of the fashion industry, including Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing, whose Fall 2020 collection was worn by both Kardashian sisters.
Rather than competing with the dramatic latex tailoring, each pair of shoes complemented the overall styling in a different way, making the event a memorable showcase of Balmain fashion paired with statement footwear.

Kourtney wore a chocolate-brown Balmain Fall 2020 latex high-neck top with matching skintight trousers, grounding the glossy monochromatic look with fitted black leather ankle boots featuring sharp pointed toes and slim stiletto heels. The understated boots balanced the bold texture of the latex while maintaining the sleek silhouette.
She completed the outfit with Port Tanger’s Leila acetate sunglasses and an Hermès Mini Kelly bag, keeping the accessories understated so the sculptural Balmain look and pointed leather boots remained the focal points.

After the Sunday Service, the family continued their day in Paris, with Kim and Kourtney taking North and Penelope for a carousel ride near the Eiffel Tower before returning to the city’s Fashion Week festivities.

Kim embraced an even more coordinated interpretation of Balmain’s Fall 2020 collection, wearing a caramel latex turtleneck, matching trousers, gloves, and a tie-waist blazer. She completed the monochromatic ensemble with open-toe ankle-strap Balmain sandals wrapped in matching caramel latex, creating a seamless transition from head to toe.

Alongside her, Kanye West kept his clothing comparatively understated with a gray T-shirt and black leather joggers, allowing his footwear to command attention. He debuted an early prototype of the adidas Yeezy 451—later refined and released as the Yeezy 450—distinguished by its sculptural claw-like molded sole wrapping around a breathable knit upper.
Initially one of Yeezy’s most polarizing designs, the silhouette has since become one of the more accessible models on the resale market. As of July 2026, StockX listings for the Yeezy 450 start at around $46 for the “Cinder” colorway, with most adult pairs trading well below their original retail price.

With her hair pulled into a sleek low ponytail tucked behind her ears, Kim let her footwear become a natural extension of the outfit.
