The 'Kanye West's Big Balenciaga Boots' meme features the rapper and mogul wearing comically oversized, chunky black boots, which first gained massive attention during his 2022 public appearances and fashion shows. While the boots were often associated with Balenciaga or modified Red Wings, the internet quickly latched onto their exaggerated silhouette, comparing them to cartoon characters like Mickey Mouse or video game avatars from Kingdom Hearts. The meme is typically used to represent carrying a heavy burden, making an unnecessarily loud entrance, or poking fun at the increasingly avant-garde nature of celebrity streetwear. It has since become a go-to template for describing anyone 'stepping' into a situation with maximum impact or excessive baggage.
