I wouldn't buy anything, even apple products related to that family of hoes....
Beats Fit Pro are now available to order in new Moon, Dune, and Earth colors designed in collaboration with Kim Kardashian. The special-edition Beats can be purchased from Apple's online store in the United States, Canada, UK, France, Germany, and Japan.
The new colors will also be available at select Apple Store locations starting Wednesday, including The Grove, Tower Theatre, and Third Street Promenade in the Los Angeles area, Fifth Avenue and SoHo in New York City, Aventura in Miami, Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Regent Street in London, Champs-Élysées in Paris, and Kurfürstendamm in Berlin.
There are no changes to the "Kim K" edition Beats Fit Pro beyond the new color options, and they remain priced at $199.99 in the United States. The standard color options remain available, including Beats Black, Beats White, Stone Purple, and Sage Gray.
The new color options appear to be inspired by Kardashian's shapewear brand SKIMS.
"I wanted to break away from the idea that headphones have to be colorful to make a statement," said Kardashian. "This collaboration is special because it allows you to blend in or stand out, and Beats is known for creating products that showcase individuality."
Launched in November 2021, the Beats Fit Pro are ideal for athletes, with flexible wingtips providing a more secure fit in the ear. The wireless earbuds have similar features as AirPods Pro, including silicone ear tips, active noise cancellation with "Transparency" mode, spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, an H1 chip for one-tap pairing and automatic switching between Apple devices, and hands-free "Hey Siri" support.

I'm not a fan of hers or anything and I appreciate that people even ask themselves this kind of questions but I think you're going a bit too far in this case.
It's possibly not very sensitive or even bad tasted marketing but I wouldn't call it unethical.
And even when marketing isn't (or try to look) ethical, it's just the book's cover. Deeply unethical stuff is usually somewhere else along the chain production of these products.
When a brown Zune was introduced, it wasn't a "great success"... and no, the public didn't nickname it "earth" 
Subdued colours and links to someone with a large audience are probably good business decisions. I might have bought some in those colours because they standout less than the white but not with her name attached to them. I guess it is a sign of the times that someone like her becomes famous just for being famous.

"designed in collaboration with Kim Kardashian"
This is the joke! 🤡

I came here to comment but now I'm just going to kick back and enjoy reading all of these 🤣🤣🤣
Is this how you feel about every collab out there or is there something in particular that bothers you ethically/morally about this one?
I like the use of skin tones. Much less conspicuous than the blaring white of the pair I currently own, and a fun opposite to the old iPod commercials where the white of the headphones was emphasised as a defining feature.
Pretty sure more people are going to buy these because of Kim's involvement than not. Whatever issues I may have with her and her family, it's impressive how she keeps brokering these lucrative deals.

Are they made out of Silicon? and no i'm not taking about Apple Silicon , I mean the kind Kim is made out of.
I see they are missing deep black, Kim's favorite color.
No thanks.
They should’ve just been 3 shades of green, cause that’s all they care about.
I agree with the above, below and side to side. Like many have said, should’ve went to a charity of some sort.

You do realize Apple is a for profit corporation, it has ALWAYS been about sales since the day Steve Jobs took over his parents garage.
Is it, though? She was born into wealth and has never had to 'work' as we would know it. She was obviously born with good genetics (though subjective) and has business-minded relationships. Impressive on paper, but perhaps not on a human level.
Yep. This is completely lazy on Apple's part. They should be lifting people up. I don't think the she needs Apple's help. I know Apple doesn't need hers. Plenty of others need lifting though. I hope their profit projections fall way short on these!
