Kylie Jenner loves a good fashion statement. The 27-year-old is known for turning a lowkey, minimalist fashion look into a trendy, memorable moment, which is exactly what happened this week. Jenner posted onto her Instagram story wearing some ultra-high platform sandals that could put the early 2000s to shame. Jenner wore a pair of supersize platform thong flip flops by ERL while on the way to a shoot for her fashion label Khy.

From Jenner's Instagram story.

Jenner posed in front of a ton of clothing racks and bags with the story captioned: “the energy i’m bringing to my shoot today.” She paired the look with simple black Nike joggers and a black cutoff tank top. She finished the ensemble off with a pair of oversized black sunglasses. You can’t currently mimic her mega-platform sandals look just yet, as the shoes are only available for pre-order going for $375. The shoe itself is a staggering five inches, so it’s giving you the height of a real-deal high heel with the comfort of a flat platform shoe.

Platform and thong sandals are a very notable Y2K fashion trend, so it's no surprise that they're making their rounds again. Amidst an ongoing cycle of fashion nostalgia, Kylie Jenner is certainly tapped into turning our favorite trends into the talk of the town. We plan to see a slew of chunky-shoe enthusiasts trying their luck with these ankle-breaking platforms, but all we ask is you be very careful when strutting around. Platform sandals are nothing to be played with.
