On June 10, Kylie Jenner was seen at Madison Square Garden with Timothée Chalamet for Game 4 of the NBA Finals. The New York Knicks made history with the largest comeback in Finals play to secure the 2026 championship. The duo sported matching Chrome Hearts denim, and Jenner’s silver sandals caught attention. The footwear was from the then-unreleased Khy x Gia Borghini collection, which has now officially launched.
In April 2026, Khy was reintroduced as a fashion label focusing on curated wardrobes. Jenner emphasized a more deliberate approach for the brand she established in 2023. Following the relaunch, the Dear Summer, Love Khy collection was released in June. The brand’s next venture is footwear, created in partnership with Italian label Gia Borghini, known for collaborations with Elsa Hosk and Silvia Tcherassi. The Khy x Gia Borghini collection will be available on August 21 at khy.com.
Why Gia Borghini and What the Collaboration Produces
The collaboration with Gia Borghini is strategic. Known for its blend of architectural design and feminine appeal, the Italian brand aligns with the aesthetic Jenner is cultivating at Khy. This partnership embodies that unique style.
“I have always loved shoes,” Jenner shared with Footwear News. “Shoes complete any outfit. Expanding into footwear felt natural for Khy. Working with Gia Borghini allowed us to incorporate a relaxed, 90s-inspired summer vibe with Italian craftsmanship, creating sleek, architectural designs that are comfortable for extended wear.”
All three shoe designs are crafted in Italy, focusing on four materials: black leather, white leather, metallic chrome, and chocolate pony hair. The collection’s palette is carefully curated, with each material offering a distinct take on the core design.
The Three Khy x Gia Borghini Silhouettes
The Studio Thong serves as the everyday staple. Available in sleek black leather and glossy metallic chrome, this thong sandal is designed for versatility, fitting seamlessly into any wardrobe. Its minimalistic design relies on material quality and clean lines.
The Muse Thong adds a wedge element, offering a more structured silhouette. The wedge curves inward, creating a distinctive profile that stands out while maintaining wearability. Available in black leather, chocolate pony hair, and metallic chrome, the pony hair option is the most daring and likely to attract attention.
The Icon Sandal, inspired by early 2000s designs, features a strappy, buckled heel in white leather and metallic chrome. It presents the boldest design of the three, intended as a statement piece within a collection focused on versatility. It reflects the current fashion interest in early 2000s aesthetics.
How to Buy the Khy x Gia Borghini Footwear Collection
The Khy x Gia Borghini collection will be available on khy.com starting August 21 at 1 pm ET, with sizes from EU 36 to EU 41. The silver thong worn by Jenner at the NBA Finals has already become one of the most sought-after items in the collection, boosting its pre-launch visibility. The shoes were also showcased in the Dear Summer, Love Khy campaign earlier this summer, where Jenner styled them with various outfits. The collection’s official debut is August 21, though previews began in June.
