— August 17, 2023 — Fashion
Brooklyn-based fashion imprint MSCHF unveils its latest AC-2 silhouette, which is a mule iteration of its previous AC-1 shoe. It resembles the look of a medical boot and the new updates take on a shorter version. It has the classic sneaker details including the layers starting with a neoprene sock lining and outsole comprised with high traction accents.

It is all wrapped in a rubber mold in a light grey tone to truly resemble the look of the medical device. This time around, the shoes are defined by a single woven black strap that is seen across the shoe's upper. In addition to its stylish appeal, it is also functional to secure the wearer's foot in place.
