Absolutely essential on social networks, Big Red Boots, or BRB for short, have become in just a few days the biggest fashion trend of the moment, or even of the year judging by the buzz they have created.
We take stock of MSCHF boots : where do they come from? who wears them? and, of course, where to find them?
Where did this shoesing UFO come from?
The first question that burns our lips when discovering the famous boots is of course that of their origin: which designer is hiding behind this completely lunar oversized format, this outrageous plastic material and these absolutely unique curved shapes?
Imagine that we owe these incredible big red boots (the translation of “ big red boots ”) to the design collective MSCHF (pronounced “ mischief ” in English) from Brooklyn, which does not is not his first attempt at viral shoes.
The New York collective had already panicked the fashion world with its Satan Shoes sneakers , designed in collaboration with rapper Lil Nas speaks in the past tense because the extent of the controversy created by these Air Max 97s of another kind was such that the shoes were finally withdrawn from sale.
But this obviously did not dampen the creativity of the MSCHF artists since here we are, some time later, contemplating the Big Red Boots, an authentic fashion UFO.
Boots inspired by Astro Boy
The most discerning connoisseurs will immediately recognize MSCHF’s Big Red Boots as the boots of Astro Boy , the famous superhero from the eponymous manga, created by Osamu Tezuka and released in 1952.
With this pair of shoes , the collective signs a new creation directly inspired by pop culture, a motif that we find very regularly in the works of these artists.
We think, for example, of their reinterpretation of the Vans Old Skool (which also caused them to be sued by the brand) or their immense Fruit Loop, a type of cereal very well known in the United States.
