MSCHF is once again looking to cause a stir in the footwear space with its latest creation. This time, the Brooklyn-based creative collective has put its spin on the construction boot.
Pictured here is a first look at the MSCHF construction boot that was shared by Chicago designer Don C on his Instagram Story yesterday. The silhouette is strikingly similar to Timberland's iconic "Wheat" 6-inch construction boot, but in typical MSCHF fashion, taken to an exaggerated new level. MSCHF's version of the boot flips the pattern of the outsole to the upper, applying a variation of it to the tongue, while also extending the tread up to the toe box and heel counter.
This isn't the first time MSCHF has released boots. Around this time last year, the group dropped its viral Big Red Boots, and a few months later, it collaborated with Crocs to deliver the Big Yellow Boots.
Release details for MSCHF's construction boot have yet to be announced. Check back soon for official updates in the weeks ahead.
UPDATE (03/07): MSCHF has confirmed that its 2x4 construction boots will be released on March 19 exclusively at Mschf.com for $400. In addition, the group shared its visual campaign for the boot today, which features legendary director Spike Lee.
UPDATE (03/12): It appears that Timberland has caught wind of MSCHF's 2x4 construction boot and addressed the copycat release on Instagram by sharing a picture of its iconic 6-inch wheat boots with the caption "The Original." MSCHF has responded to the post by sharing an image of the 2x4 boot captioned "Also Original."
