Cartoonishness is an abstraction that frees us from the constraints of reality. This offering of the MSCHF comes fully dressed in all-Red constructed with a TPU rubber shell with an EVA foam rubber sole with MSCHF branding underfoot.
The aesthetic Overton window continues to stretch open towards the unreal. McQueen's Armadillo Heels tripped on the runway so that the BRB could run to the corner store. The continued blending of cirtual and IRL aesthetic has us chasing supernormal stimuli. When half the sneakers we see on social media are renderings, we come to expect a baseline of unreality. Big Red Boots are VR Chat Boots.
Hundreds of characters, from the mouse to the plumber to the hungry yellow circle, have conducted the same exercise: How do you make a shoe using as few geometric primitives as possible, and still have it read instantly? When a human hand had to draw hundreds of frames of footwear, this was a practical necessity. It has also produced a symbol, and all fulfilled the same purpose to instantly convey the idea of 'boot'.
It's a footwear design truism that the shape of a shoe is not the shape of a foot. Big Red Boots are really not shaped like feet, but they are extremely shaped like boots.
