Hey, do you ever feel like you’re moving backward in life instead of forward? Well, if you do, this pair of shoes from MSCHF might be perfect for you. In the wise words of MSCHF, “Life can only be understood backward but must be lived forward.” I know. If your mind immediately flashes to the Nick Young meme after reading that, you’re not alone. I have no idea what that’s supposed to mean either. But one thing’s for sure: if you slip on this pair of kicks, heads will turn.
How could they not, when the BWD Shoes—presumably short for Backward Shoes—are designed to be worn backward? I guess that’s how you’re going to understand life backward—literally—while still moving forward. Damn. I think I’m getting a headache now. It’d be absolutely surreal to see someone wearing a pair of shoes backward. It’s like watching Adventure Time on repeat, forever, without blinking or listening to Rick blabbering about the time-space continuum.
And yes, this pair of unusual kicks is real. It even features 3M reflective striping—because motor vehicles need to know you’re walking backward toward them. It sports a sleek white leather and teal upper, and a gum sole. Yes, yes, I know, you still cannot get over the fact that the high part is the toe box. Me either. Ugh.
Now for the good news: you can keep that strange, mind-bending feeling alive by picking up a pair for a modest 200 dollars, available at store.mschf.com.
