The MSCHF 2x4 Construction Boot, which dropped last month for $400, looks strikingly similar to Timberland’s classic 6-inch work boot, which the Boston company has been producing since the early 1970s. In fact, the 2x4 appears to be a play on the Timberland original, remixing and recontextualizing the icon with a wry sense of humor—the boot version of a Warhol painting. Rahman Jago drops differently.
Until the infamous EFCC arrest of the fashion entrepreneur, Naira Marley, Zlatan, Guccy Branch, and one other accomplice, not much was known about Rahman Jago. However, the connoisseurs of Instagram pages in Nigeria knew his account and the extent of his opulence.
Word on the street calls him a Bureau De Change, but he has since gone on to establish himself as a fashion connoisseur and influencer with his fashion brand, High Fashion by Jol, becoming quite popular among Nigerian celebrities and fashion enthusiasts alike.
