The Mexican Pointy Boots subculture began in northern Mexico around 2010, driven by local youth dance crews and their love for Tribal Guarachero music. Groups like 3BallMTY (with DJs Erick Rincón, Sheeqo Beat, and DJ Otto) popularized the music that accompanied the trend. Bootmakers crafted the exaggerated footwear, and social media, especially YouTube, helped the style go viral, spreading from Mexico to the U.S. It was a grassroots movement combining music, fashion, and dance.
