Quick question: Would you like your feet to resemble those of The Hulk? We only ask as, thanks to underground label I Wanna Bangkok and their unisex Hulkfoot and Bigfoot heels, that’s a thing now.
Sneakerheads will know all about sporting some attention-grabbing footwear, but the spate of shoe-as-meme options have gone into overdrive recently. From MSCHF’s Big Red Boot and Big Yellow Crocs Boot to Balenciaga’s Technoclogs and, perhaps to a lesser extent, Bottega’s Puddle Ankle Boot. Now it seems that your footwear doesn’t have to simply catch someone’s eye, it needs to stop traffic.
Both Hulk and Bigfoot heels are unisex, with a low-slung kitten heel and an absolutely bizarre veiny foot in green or light skin. We’re not really sure what you’d wear them with at this stage. Possibly shorts to ensure maximum exposure? All-green is likely a mistake, unless you really want to look like the Hulk. And then we’re getting into a different category altogether, really. Angry demeanour is presumably sold separately.
Unsurprisingly, the Hulkfoot has already made a splash on social media. If this is where you see your own fashion future, you can pre-order a pair on the brand’s website here. They’re currently priced at AED 515.
