If you thought the MSCHF Big Red Boots were a bit much, check out the latest Bear Claw mules from the New York brand, Bravest Studios. Founded by Andrew Xu in 2002 as a passion project, this brand has grown into a big name with pop-ups in New York, L.A., and Chicago.
These brown mules are made of faux fur with leather lining and feature pointy steel claws to give that bear-like look. They even come in a faux fur collector’s shoebox that you can repurpose for stylish home decor. Priced at $110, they’ve already sold out with no plans for a restock anytime soon.
Our readers have mixed feelings about them. One person said they look like self-defense slippers, and another commented that they were upset by them. On the other hand, celebrity stylist Harrison Crite thinks $110 is a bargain, and wardrobe stylist Shun Melson loves them.
Despite some hesitation, many trendsetters are all about these unique and playful mules. It’s likely that some of the most fashion-forward influencers snagged a pair, and we can’t wait to see how they style them.
Whether you’re heading into the woods or just want a standout piece for your wardrobe, these mules are a perfect way to elevate any outfit.
