The boots have been met with mixed reviews and many memes online. Fans and followers of the brand who dislike the style claim that those who have their hands on the boots aren’t wearing them right. Others claim they are “high art.” The only certain thing is that the bright red boots have already begun to make a mark on the fashion community and the internet. The virality of fashion pieces often takes a swift hold of the industry and aids brands like MSCHF in sales and notoriety.
MSCHF has made waves with their viral shoe creations for a long time now. Most recently, the Brooklyn-based art collective collaborated with rapper Tyga to create another viral style called “Wavy Baby” which riffed off Vans’ “Old Skool” sneaker.
