BLACKPINK's Jennie Kim is no stranger to embracing a trend. She's been known to give her own spin on the classic French tip nail, embrace a more boho-friendly version of the naked dress trend, and has continued to serve in Chanel as one of the maison's brand ambassadors. But when Jennie stepped out in a pair of freaky and controversial shoes, it felt in line with her own sense of style.

The K-Pop star was recently photographed in a more casual, dressed-down look that would otherwise be pretty standard for an off-duty global superstar. Jennie wore a pair of grey sweatpants with a blue and white crocheted sleeveless sweater, along with a grey hat. All of which are surely designer items. But instead of focusing on her eclectic shirt and pants combo, fans were zooming in on what Jennie had on her feet.Jennie Kim was strutting around in a pair of Vibram V-Soul FiveFinger shoes that Vogue named the “freaky-chic shoe trend of 2025." The machine-washable V-Soul shoe is meant for “indoor alternative fitness," according to the description, including “functional fitness, plyometrics, Pilates, and Yoga, among other activities.” The description doesn't mention anything about a casual stroll en route to BLACKPINK's world tour as a global pop star.
