Get familiar with MAX Osterweis "SUNO"

Max Osterweis is a former freelance director for Nike, Amnesty International and Weiden +Kennedy(One of the largest and dopest advertising agencies in the world) turned fashion designer in 2008. He turned his love of Kenyan fabrics into a fashion line called Suno(named after his mother), and the results are C.O.C.A. We are really feeling the soulful African prints on the fabrics.

Gone are the glory days of Jordan collection, its a new day in the sneaker world and the skate boarders culture is the face of the sneaker world.
