Kendall and Kylie Jenner have just dropped their first-ever vintage t-shirt collection for their Kendall + Kylie line. It's a decision they may come to regret.

The sisters are coming under heavy criticism for the perceived insensitivity for some of the designs. All of the one-of-one shirts feature either pictures of one of the sisters or their initials superimposed on top of vintage t-shirts for rock acts like Pink Floyd, Metallica, or The Doors; or for rap icons like 2Pac and Biggie. 

It's those last two that have met with the most outrage. In one of the designs, a shirt bearing 2Pac's image has a controversial Instagram photo of Kylie in cornrows on top. Her 2015 look was heavily criticized for appropriating black culture.

In addition, there are other 2Pac-related shirts where the brand's "KK" logo is emblazened over the dead rapper's image, in a move some people saw as insensitive.

Putting their images over an iconic shot of Pac and Big together also outraged some.

The shirts, many of which are sold out despite (or because of) the controversy, are selling for $125.
