What exactly is "sacred" about this crazy big-toed combat boot? Why is the trend of "big-headed aesthetics" intensifying? Sister O will take you to find out!
MSCHF
"Astro Boy Boots"
These toe boots are a tribute to Astro Boy's classic red bucket shoes. The new pieces from creative fashion brand MSCHF have taken social media by storm with "viral" before they are released.
So what is the origin of such a hotly debated brand MSCHF?
This fashion creative brand is not the first time to "work", and it is even known as the "most revitalized" label. Just like the new co-branded shoes of Wave Baby launched with RapperTYGA last year, although it was sued by the Vans brand and had to be taken down, it still received countless praise.
Blurring national currencies, popsicles inspired by financial tycoons, transforming platinum bags into Birkenstock sandals, mixing Andy Warhol's real works, and other mischievous creations... It's the same as the brand's original intention, which is to add endless fun to the boring network.

Of course, the protagonist this time is the big red boot "Big Red Boots" in the classic book "Astro Boy".
The overall material is designed with red EVA foam, which is both eye-catching and atmospheric. The sole has a threaded grip design and a branded logo design, which is a two-dimensional classic with restoration and detail, who can not love it?
It can be seen from many Astro Boy unboxing videos that it has many shortcomings, and even grinds its feet and stands unsteady, but netizens don't care, after all, the tide is enough! I have to say that I really have the feeling of going back to the childhood and romantic moments ~
The release of MSCHF Big Red Boot is on February 16 at 11 a.m. ET, and the channel officially and exclusively launches the MSCHF app and MSCHF.com.
Although it has not yet been officially released, the price has been speculated from a few hundred dollars to more than a thousand dollars! The reference of various sizes Sister O has also been found for everyone, and Sister O can already imagine the scene of netizens "crazy robbery" on the day of release.
In fact, in various runways, you can also see the trend of big heads and cartoon shoes only increasing. Next, Sister O takes you to learn about the creative cartoon toe shoes in other brands~
Balenciaga
"Mickey's toe shoes"
Balenciaga's "Mickey Shoes" and "Astro Boy Boots" launched at the Stock Exchange's Spring/Summer 2023 show are similar, and they all show their original fashion when paired with dark fashion.
So why are they called "Mickey's shoes"? Because the Steroid derby shoes and tall boots have a very exaggerated chunky silhouette, and the huge round toe has a very full sense of volume.
Isn't that more like Mickey's shoes written into reality?
But some people will definitely say that such a large pair of shoes must be extremely heavy, but in fact it is not, it uses EVA material like Astro Boy boots, and it is much lighter.
Nowadays, such an "ugly" style trend is becoming more and more popular in the fashion circle, and both brands and consumers are deliberately pursuing exaggerated shoe shapes and curious effects!
LOEWE
"Minnie High Heels\Forrest Gump"
When it comes to Mickey shoes, Sister O also found Minnie Mouse's heels, which are from LOEWE's spring/summer 2023 collection, and Disney's dreamy sense is amazing!
Candy-colored colorful and fat shoes, full of dreamy effect.
Does this seem like bringing the sweetness of anime to life?
In addition, fat Forrest Gump shoes under the model's feet are also found in the menswear collection, with a sense of lightness and ingenuity for future technology.
Louis Vuitton
"Cloud Cave Shoes"
When you think of Louis Vuitton's shoes, do you think only of Trainer? In fact, the hole shoes on the Louis Vuitton men's spring/summer 2023 runway are also particularly eye-catching!
The holes in this hole shoe are meticulously designed, and the heavy white rubber shell ensures comfort and integrates the built-in knitted upper with the tongue and heel.
The overall feeling is like a fashion shoe fusion variant version of the cave shoes, bringing the "big head" design gameplay to the extreme.
Of course, in addition to the cute anime toe style, the love of anime in the fashion circle is endless and common.
For example, Jimmy Choo and "Sailor Moon"'s latest joint high-heeled boots, the combat boots of Tsukino Hare, Mizuno Ami, Rei Hino, Makoto Kino, and Minako Aino's classic characters are all created in line with the original, which shows that the fashion industry is becoming more and more fond of childhood two-dimensional characters.
The highly restored classic boots show the romantic dreaminess and delicate temperament unique to girls.

Why is this very childlike and even grotesque trend popular?
In an increasingly developed era, networks have become more high-definition and concrete. But the impetuous Internet makes people more nostalgic for the more epochal and simple era, so this grotesque two-dimensional form can better reflect the core of people's breaking the worldly definition.
And the cartoon element has always been a dreamy existence of childhood, and the shoes flooded with childlike hearts will allow people to regain the warmth and happiness of childhood moments. It is also the design of cartoon elements that creates a variety of imaginative shapes and adds a lot of fun in the fashion circle.
So Sister O introduced so many big-toed shoes, did you plant grass?
