The bi-directional silhouette allows several options for styling the shoe, something that probably hasn’t been seen before. Except for this particular feature, the model is simple, with a white leather upper, perforated decoration and a stripe design near the ankle. The heel is decorated with red suede, which also includes the brand’s triple exclamation mark motif and small arrows that seem to be there to guide to the “correct” use of the shoe. The triple exclamation mark is also included on the rubber midsoles and bottoms.

The footwear, dubbed the BWD Shoe, are a pair of sneakers in which each shoe has two openings to select, allowing the shoe to be worn either forward or backward, depending on what the wearer feels like at any given time. The shoe is predominantly made in white leather, with red suede at the heel, plus a grey stripe and black-speckled midsole.

Founded by Gabriel Whaley, MSCHF is also known for creating buzzed-about items such as the Satan Shoes, in partnership with Lil Nas X, said to include a drop of human blood in the sole, and the Jesus Shoes, worn by Drake and containing holy water from the River Jordan. MSCHF has also collaborated with MrBeast on a mobile game and with Jimmy Fallon on Gobstomper sneakers inspired by Gobstopper candy, and turned four Birkin bags into sandals which it dubbed Birkinstocks.

The BWD shoe (style code MSCHF-004) drops on April 11 for one hour at 2 p.m. ET and is being sold via the MSCHF Sneakers app and at mschf.com. The shoes are priced at $135. No information was available on how many of the sneakers would be released by the company.

The shoes already appear in the new video from Fall Out Boy, “Hold Me Like a Grudge,” worn by Joe Trohman. The MSCHF art company that went viral with the popular Big Red Boot and recently released its Super Normal 2 under its signature sarcastic tone, now unveils its ‘BWD‘ sneaker. This curious design features a dual-purpose system, with an opening at the toe in addition to the usual foot entry on the opposite side.
