About MSCHF
MSCHF is a brand and art practice founded in the United States in 2016. It has put out more than 125 numbered releases spanning shoes, apps, finance products and satire.
Why it’s a challenger
Conventional wisdom holds that a brand builds equity by staying in one category with a consistent product line. MSCHF turned the brand itself into a serialized art practice, in which each numbered release is a self-contained cultural provocation designed to be argued about. In August 2025 it launched an advertising agency, Applied MSCHF.
This brand is in the Rival 50 2026 list. The report’s deep dives cover 14 of the top 20.
