Greyscale Contrasting Chunky Shoes

MSCHF's Gobstompers Come in a Graylag Goose Colorway

— May 12, 2023 — Fashion
MSCHF presents a new tonal option to its Gobstomper sneaker model with a Graylag Goose colorway palette to join its roster. It is set to launch online on May 18th and is detailed with grayscale tones throughout the entire silhouette with pops of color added for tonal contrast.

Similar to the original design, and as the name suggests, the shoes will change in appearance as it is slowly worn in as the layers will slowly fade away to unveil different colors lying underneath. What appears to be all-grey at first will fade away as each layer will deteriorate and showcase tones such as yellow, red, and orange. The original chunky silhouette is retained and it rests on a thick midsole base.
