MSCHF‘s Big Red Boots found itself in another viral moment this week.
In a new video on Instagram shared by @Jakepolino this week, which has over 260,000 likes on the social media platform at the time of publication, the customizer shows the process of altering the MSCHF Big Red Boots into the sneaker worn by the iconic video game character “Sonic the Hedgehog.”
The video starts off with the customizer cutting the midfoot of the viral boots to remove some of the height by the ankle, followed by spray-painting the ankle collar to white. To further add to the inspiration of the “Sonic the Hedgehog” sneaker, the customizer cut up a belt and applied it to the midfoot while also spray-painting the bottom in gray.
MSCHF’s Big Red Boots were initially released on Feb. 16 exclusively at mschf.com and MSCHF’s Sneakers app for a retail price of $350 and much like past releases from the Brooklyn creative group, the boots sold out quickly. For fans who missed out on the first release, MSCHF restocked the boots on June 13.
