CNN中英双语新闻––欧美时尚新品 巨大卡通靴子售价350美元

For $350, these boots will make you look like a cartoon

Are you into cosplay? If you're plugged into luxury fashion's latest trends, the answer might unwittingly be yes. From Loewe's Spring-Summer 2023 Minnie Mouse stilettos (which have already received the Kylie Jenner seal of approval) to Balenciaga's Hummer Derby clown-like loafers, playful footwear appears to be on the rise. This week, another pair of shoes has entered the chat: The Big Red Boot.

你喜欢角色扮演吗?如果你关注奢侈品最新的流行趋势，答案可能在不知不觉中就得到了肯定的回答。从Loewe的2023春夏米妮鼠细高跟鞋(已经得到凯莉·詹娜的认可)，再到巴黎世家悍马德比小丑造型的乐福鞋，有趣的鞋子似乎正在兴起。本周，另一双鞋也加入了“群聊”：大红色靴子。

Unveiled by provocative New York-based art collective MSCHF — the same group responsible for Lil Nas X's satan sneakers and these eye-wateringly expensive "Birkinstocks" — the giant rubber boots are goofy, impossibly round and suspiciously similar to those worn by Japanese manga character Astro Boy. "Cartoon boots for a Cool 3D World," read the MSCHF press release. "If you kick someone in these boots they go BOING!"

这双巨大的胶靴是由纽约极具挑战性的艺术团体MSCHF推出的，该团体曾设计过Lil Nas X的恶魔运动鞋以及贵得让人泪流的“柏金鞋”。这双巨大的胶靴看起来有点傻，圆得令人难以置信，与日本漫画人物阿童木所穿的靴子有相似嫌疑。MSCHF的新闻稿写道：“炫酷3D世界的卡通靴子。如果有人穿着这双靴子被人踢了一脚的话，他们肯定会很惨。”

The shoes, which will go on sale February 16 for $350, have — unsurprisingly — caught the internet's attention. On TikTok, one video styling the boots has so far exceeded 3 million views and over half a million likes in 24 hours.

这双鞋将于2月16日发售，售价350美元，这当然引起了互联网的关注。在TikTok上，这双靴子搭配造型的视频在24小时内浏览量超过300万，点赞超过50万。

Prospective buyers are making themselves known across social media. "How much I need them NOW," exclaimed one Instagram follower under MSCHF's original post. "Those big red boots will be mine," another tweeted.

潜在买家正在社交媒体上十分高调。“我太想要这双鞋了！”一位MSCHF 的Instagram粉丝在原贴下感叹。“这双大红靴子是我的了”另一篇推特写道。

"Cartoonishness is an abstraction that frees us from the constraints of reality," said MSCHF.

MSCHF说：“卡通可以让我们从现实束缚中脱离出来。”

After years of practical pandemic dressing, fashion appears to be entering its silly era. At the recent Grammy Awards, Harry Styles wore a bedazzled "clowncore" jumpsuit by emerging brand EgonLab. Ten days before that, Doja Cat sat front row at the Viktor and Rolf couture show in Paris (which featured upside-down and sideways-turned ball gowns removed from the model's bodies) in a makeshift mustache fashioned from eyelash extensions. And during the menswear shows in Milan, British label JW Anderson collaborated with rain boot brand Wellipets to create these frog-faced mules.

在流行了多年的实用着装之后，时尚似乎正进入一个愚蠢的时代。在最近的格莱美颁奖典礼上，哈里·斯泰尔斯穿了一件由新兴品牌EgonLab设计的令人眼花缭乱的“小丑”连体裤。在此之前的十天，Doja Cat坐在巴黎Viktor Rolf时装秀的前排（这场时装秀的特色是从模特身上取下倒挂和侧翻的舞会礼服），她留着由睫毛延伸部分制成的临时胡须。在米兰的男装展上，英国品牌JW Anderson与雨靴品牌Wellipets合作制作了长着青蛙脸的骡子。
