The designer of Max's shoes, Carri Munden, had this to say about them, “The Blazer’s adoption within the skate community made this the perfect shoe for the project. The colors reference the faded neon’s of 80's skate culture. For the materials imagine the shoes came from a toxically mutated lizard = sci-fi pimp. We’ve left only a circle and triangle for the wearer to decode.”
She goes on to describe the shoes as inspired by the idea of "urban shamanism." She imagines “Ancient Amazonian hunting rituals adapted by a gang of skaters in a post apocalyptic city”. If Knoxville were to go post apocalyptic, I'd want Max on my team.
