MSCHF introduces a look at its latest footwear silhouette in the form of the 2X4 Brutal boot. This is highlighted by the collar sections -- it can be removed and customized. When the collar is attached to the shoe, the detail transforms into something more reminiscent of a pair of Timbs.
Without the attachment, the Brutal boot is more like its predecessors. The silhouette is led by a black colorway palette for a stealthy and versatile aesthetic. As referenced by the shoe's namesake, the 2X4 Brutal boot is influenced by brutalism architecture. This style is very minimal, defined by its block-like design that is often made from concrete. The shoes are set to launch on March 19th.
