DescriptionMan's multicolor canvas high top sneakers.
Label Text:These canvas sneakers were designed by artist Peter Max, who is best known for his trippy, colorful designs of the 1960s and 70s. As craft became a form of cultural commentary, wearable art was used as a symbol of the counterculture’s personal and political allegiances.
