First, there were the Big Red Boots, which were inspired by Astroboy. Now, MSCHF wants its followers and streetwear enthusiasts to sport their fashionable kicks from both sides. Meet BWD Shoe, the brand’s newest pair of sneakers with a design that can be worn either forward or backward. When worn forward, BWD Shoes resemble regular sneakers with an orange suede heel. However, the pair of sneakers transforms into sandals when worn backward. In either case, the user’s feet are only partially shielded because their toes protrude out the mouth of the opposite end. The reversible shoes advertise as 2-in-1 kicks, and now that it’s possible, enthusiasts may start to consider giving up their summer sandals in favor of BWD Shoes. The shoe has thick enough chunky gum bottoms to safeguard the wearer’s feet. In comparison to the sneaker side, where the heel area slopes slightly to provide a jolt in stride when the wearer walks, the sandal side’s low cut exposes the user’s ankle, and the sole seems flatter. The BWD Shoe made the rounds on social media, after MSCHF uploaded a picture of Childish Gambino wearing them while watching the basketball playoffs. With the shoes quickly becoming popular, the public may soon catch on to the current fad.
