(Un) Chained Melody - An Ode to JW Anderson Chain Mules

Written by Naina Kaul in Footwear

Originally a pandemic staple, these mules have stood the test of time. We see them out and about to this day, and lauded by TikTokers and Instagrammers alike: the macro-chain shoe is here to stay. Why not? They take ridiculous proportions, and make them legit as far as fashion statements go. Not for the faint of heart, these are shoes with a distinctive style - making a mark in the shoewear department that has been felt from 2020 and beyond.
