I Bought THOSE Sneakers So You Don't Have To

In a world of microtrends, increasingly ridiculous sneakers, and daily releases, it's no surprise we're all getting tired of Sneaker Culture. MSCHF and Acronym collaborate on the MSCHF ACRNM Super Normal AG to show their playful side and make a statement about the absurd sneaker market. Ironically, the intentionally weird shoe is just another release in the weird fashion world we find ourselves in, but this nonetheless represents a fusion of sneaker and art.

To me it looks like a cheap H&M sneaker, for edgy Valorant players, but i appreciate the craftsmanship

[@MsGenesisgamer]

Yea same

[@MrKubahades]

I just noticed recently how h&m and all the other cheap stores sell these knock off nikes vans adidas type shoes that basically look like what bape and mschif are doing. They just look like knock offs

[@itsvick2416]

Man's introducing Acronym like he's never spoken about them before 💀

[@Apoloniodraws-gy3fe]

+1 that he talks about Acronym like he talks about it for the first time would be funny like we're in a time loop

[@StoicDivinity]

Man's gets new followers and tries catching them up. I don't see a prob breh

[@jhalilxvii]

New people show up here all the time I imagine so a lot of em won't know what Acronym is.

[@TheCossack]

As a first time viewer I need that explanation tbh

[@Volundur9567]

Acronym built a time machine, but it short-circuited ​and now Antwon is forever stuck in a loop of being introduced to Acronym and their products 😂 @@Apoloniodraws-gy3fe

[@Meg_A_Byte]

You said it yourself at the end of the video. These are nothing but trend chasing shoes that people will forget about in a week. They go against everything ACRNM stood for, pure show, no function, no added value. From the packaging to the zippers you can bend and shape. At least they only made 250 of them so there is less pollution once they end up on the landfill.

[@jonathans2316]

Acronym/Hugh have lost the plot.....

[@Paul43210]

If it wouldn't be so acronym af1 "inspired" it would at least stand a little on its own and wouldn't be 100% terrible, instead just 90%

[@UnimportantAcc]

Shoes might not go hard but yk Andrew's hair dooo

[@TastesGoodYo]

I like deconstructed stuff, I like a more whacky style, I like acronym, but these dont hit at all for me. I just think they look 'bad' and honestly, a little less acronym and more mschf, like someone there found a found of lunar forces and said "what can we do with this, get acr on the phone". That said, still a great video and a great run down on the shoe Ant, thankyou!

[@Volundur9567]

Even the shoes that looked like braces were kinda robotic looking. It can definitely fit an Acronym aesthetic. These, however, lack any of that vibe. They're just messy.

[@FleccaRobinson]

I totally agree. Very interesting analysis ant, thanks for doing what you do

[@kzrmxmln]

Had to stop at 1:23 to look up the jollibee collab and it's actually true. That's ridiculous. I would never dream of wearing a tee with a jollibee logo 'cause I don't work there. 😂

[@teno777]

Not feeling these in regards to Acronym. Or at least, definitely couldn’t tell it’s Acronym aside from the zipper.

[@justinsaunders1459]

Appreciate the analysis and I'm glad you bought them so I didn't have to!

[@mrotaveria]

To me, they look like MSCHF doing a parody of ACR.

[@Javierm0n0]

I would actually rock these lol but all the points you discussed are precise.

[@FashionForwardAlways]

I was a bit torn on this sneaker, but in the end I really don’t like these shoes. I feel like they are derivative and I don’t mess with the aesthetic. I haven’t seen any fits where the shoes look great and just feel like a “HEY LOOK AT MY WACKY SHOES!” This could be my overall distain for iconic fashion or anything mschf does.

[@feIon]

i saw that RTFKT dunk... i wanna see a full video about it

[@PogGamerMan]

I was just thinking about where you are at today lol! Good video today!

[@igeorge25]

What are those baggy green pants you’re wearing with the panel (?) at the front?

[@deebee3867]

Your channel is what got me into Acronym a couple of years back, so I have to mention that it feels like lately you don't want to criticize them as it might hurt your influencer status. Its getting hard to take some videos (like this one) seriously when it feels like almost 99% a commercial.

[@StoicDivinity]

Have never been disappointed with my Mizuno and Asics, even Puma (x Pleasures) has some cool timeless releases. Never been a fan of New Balance silhouettes, but I grew to love the 9060s in specific colorways: the sole "clawing" the midsole is fire.

[@Spitfire-xt9rt]

As soon as I saw the instagram posts about them, I wanted these shoes. I also wanted to see your take on them. But these look so cool, even if they aren't as wearable.

[@shizadominates]

I just want performance and comfort. that is it. the best way I can describe this shoe is the mocking spongbob meme "tHeSe ShOeS aRe HiGh PeRfOrMiNg AcRnM"

[@astral_plane_crash]

Dude your hair looks awesome.

[@agoogleviewer]

at 250 units, I think it's cool that they go all out, since, with such as small number, they will probably invest in making more versions, rather that more volume, so If I missed this one, maybe in a few months they make a new similar but different one, that I may even like more...

[@kazen16]

That looks like a nerfed version,of lunar force acronym… what are they thinking?😂

[@blvckhippie4865]

I like them. i enjoy the jabs mschf takes

[@Volundur9567]

I prefer the techwear Acronym stuff.

[@leoschautvideos]

great video

[@alexskyline_]

I really like the look of these, but I'm a sucker for outlandish statement footwear and accessories because they're what make fashion fun and artistic and personal for me, just like you said at the end there. However, I also feel like a lot of those unique pieces come in a hypebeast fomo wrapper, that I just can't be bothered to engage with. And that's why I DIY 🤘

[@lostminds9635]

4:19 what pants are these???

[@vukan.mp3]

3:59 no worries i walk like that already

[@miggs7483]

I have these shoes and I believe it’s a brilliant statement regarding the industry, but also a creative shoe one showing Acronyms playful side coming from a point of originality something that the industry is missing and is relying on nostalgia and trend not making risks to make a buck. Just ma thoughts

[@GoufinAround_]

0:52, it is the later for sure

[@deadleads]

Trends are tiring, aint they. My Nike Acronyms are not my dirty mosh pit shoe, bit of a contrast to all the doc martins lol

[@theomen1590]

i think you should maybe wear a tighter tanktop, would definitely fit your proportions better

[@flakeonthebeat70]

the game of telephone handbagis really funny to me cuz its literally just an Acne bag

[@Combiner81]

I'd actually say that the branding on these is less obvious than the Lunar Forces and Low Blazers. The swoop on the sides of those stands out a lot more to me. That, coupled with Nike's logo being ubiquitous compared to Acronym and MSCHF mostly just being known by internet weirdos.

[@fashionpolice906]

ay 250 made? got a size 8, so I must be 1 out of 20 size 8s!

[@peterkoinzell7983]

lol yeah I forgot about shoes, shoe videos and new shoes. the best sneaks have been out for a while imo. boots are better. cordovan on good year welt is all I buy now.

[@barbaroja.mp3]

bro casually tosses away a JJJJound x NB shoe

[@rez4437]

The shoes honesty don’t look that bad to me. I wouldn’t rock it but I do like the green a good bit

[@Toinnt36]

nice

[@Bigcheese747]

Can you please make a balaclava/face mask video🙏 I need one for skiing and hunting

[@iwb70]

Looking for something to wear for "a job" at a Swiss bank?

[@sh36]

When you brought out the shoe they are parodying it made sense. I generally like Nike, but those look like ass. Acronym and MSCHF made a slightly more interesting shoe, but it's still a bit ass TBH. Not useful enough to be a good Acronym shoe, but not goofy enough to be a good MSCHF shoe.

[@dantelain]

So sad they decide to make so limited qty ((

[@lucaisokay]

Buy some "fabric of the universe" so I don't have to?

[@1st1anarkissed]

I like a classic canvas basketball or tennis shoe, think converse original or sketchers originals, but these plastic fantastic foot monstrosities make no sense to me. I prefer leather shoes for daily wear. A classic pair of penny loafers are always easy to put on and comfy to wear while looking fqncy.

[@unfortunatelyrob2635]

onitsuka tiger archive sale 50% off

[@witeshade]

Wait there's only 250 of these?

[@frc1255]

These seem like a miss to me.

[@johnlewtas6833]

if mschf and acrnm collabed on a j41 the zipper would just be on the front

[@karlexceed]

an extremely normal mid-tier jacket

[@ti2809]

pictured here: the victim who bought these.

[@luckbasedluke5590]

These are the shoes that I think are so dope but all my friends will hate, which would only make me wanna rock em even more

[@jhalilxvii]

Being completely serious, i think those are pretty cool.

[@fashionpolice906]

they look way better on feet too, and no one mentioned the metal shank that is on the zippers so you can move the zipper how you like!

[@csonttot7819]

seems like little boy who buy everiting to be cool vibes.

[@DarknessUnresolved]

Even though the Nike Presto/Acronym is a way better collab, these are kinda cool-looking too. I do dig the extended zipper, but putting it on the inner side is a complete deal-breaker for me. That was dumb. Sure, all 250 pairs "sold out". But something tells me most of those shoes didn't go to people who intended on actually wearing them.

[@bfgtim]

Deff top 5 sneakers to buy rn no 🧢 fr fr . I want to nerf the IQ level in the comments so that the community doesn't stand out too much compared to other influencers.

[@banana_necessary]

Another great video. Fashion was a reflection of the subculture you were part of. Nowadays it is a costume. It is hard to have any cultural impact.

[@pepsimilkhotel]

Women's clothes have had zippers on back since forever, acrnm can't pretend they invented this smh

[@lucif32]

The shoe grows on me. I am glad I own a pair.

[@xsickpeoplex]

Trainers are DEAD.....i mean look at the amount of money people are spending on those absolute NPC "trainers" from Dior or Channel that are like £800 to £1200 and look like shoes made for people with one leg shorter than the other....no diss to my block up shoes homies out there though.

[@abihraal1825]

Another disappointment from acrnm. Previously spikes and now this abomination. Just why..

[@biblohudson9425]

Shoes are so ugly. The zips are unpractical

[@totallynotaspy2686]

This has nothing to do with the topic of the video, but there's a guy at my gym that looks almost exactly like Antwon. I mog him into oblivion on every lift

[@0oSiLveRo0]

you can be ironic and post fashion whatever all you want if the product looks like shit

[@RegenTonnenEnte]

I changed the title so you might click on the video

[@he478]

these SUCK

[@lunargorp]

Thanks for dropping a video I wanted to see for a product I didn’t want to buy 🫡

[@IG-jd8pt]

Stupid gimmick
