As far as comfort goes, we can’t yet say if they’ll be any good but the site state that the boots are made from EVA foam and a TPU rubber shell.

There were the Nike Airmax 97 Customs, dubbed the "Jesus"and "Satan,” which supposedly had holy water and blood injected into the airsole units.Made Of Comfortable And Durable Eva Material, The Shoes Are Unisex And Suitable For Both Men And Women. Recently, Jimmy Choo revealed a collection in collaboration with Sailor Moon creator Naoko Takeuchi that consists of thousand-dollar boots that remind us of the show's beloved characters. Unless you’ve been living under a rock these past few days, you’ve definitely seen MSCHF’s big, red Astro Boy inspired boots. Take this chance to decide if it’s finally time to get your hands on one of the most viral shoes of 2023. For obvious legal reasons, though, MSCHF isn't mentioning anything related to Astro Boy when revealing its latest Sneakers creation.

When anime and manga became more mainstream in the US, fashion designers created anime- and manga-inspired collections, often including some iteration of Astro Boy‘s boots.

Through that time, people acquainted with Astro Boy, especially fans of Japanese pop culture, wore red boots that intentionally resembled those worn by Astro. MSCHF Sneakers, a sublabel of art collective MSCHF, has unveiled a very creative new offering that’s apparently inspired by the boots worn by one of the most iconic characters coming from the Land of the Rising Sun. They had built-in jet engines that allowed the character to fly and gave him superhuman speed and agility. In fact, there are many things that all gamers and die-hard manga and anime enthusiasts have no one but Osamu Tezuka — the artist who wrote and illustrated Astro Boy — to thank for. Also adding, “MSCHF’s next project sees the release of a Astro-Boy inspired show that brings the “Mighty Atom” into real life.

While gaming and anime fans most certainly didn’t expect to see even the most seasoned sneakerheads rocking these boots, let alone the “high-fashion” community, these boots are the latest and greatest in shoe creativity and comfort. Truly, you've never seen a pair of boots look like this ever before: MSCHF has created uncannily wearable kicks that look like Astro Boy's signature shoes brought into the real world. If irony has been used many times in the past by more or less famous designers - above all Jeremy Scott from Moschino, on the other hand, it is undeniable that in MSCHF's provocative game, something would seem to be broken: born as a critique of consumerism and hype culture, has the collective perhaps become a victim of its own game?The ratings/reviews displayed here may not be representative of every listing on this page, or of every review for these listings. Roller skates often grant their wearer speed and agility; Astro’s boots do the same, but by different means, as they’re equipped with futuristic and practical technology. Because of this they look like they'd be extremely hard to put on and remove, a perception which appears to be justified after watching numerous YouTube videos of early adopters who snagged advance pairs of the boot. Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, MSCHF is a design collective that sells viral internet stunts in the form of products. Each product is unique and made by hands, that's why small deviation from the photos in the listing is possible.

As well as the Nas Nikes, there's been a pair of wavy “coke white” sneakers, and a pair of “wavy babies" made in collaboration with Tyga, which you wouldn't be able to walk in. Also, the extremely large outsole of the boot means you'd most probably have to adjust your stride lest you trip over yourself.The Brooklyn-based art collective once made headlines for their "Satan Shoes" which sparked controversy, although MSCHF claimed to have released it as a mere commentary on the collaboration culture. Frequently likened to Astro Boy’s choice of kicks, the upcoming release avoids constraining itself to reality, opting instead for proportions that make little logical sense.
