Day one’s most talked-about panel featured none other than Manpxwerr, the creative mastermind who’s taken the iconic Air Force 1 Low and turned it into something truly monstrous—literally! With a bold remix inspired by Monster Energy Drink, these custom kicks have been the talk of Sneakerness Milan. We caught up with the designer for an exclusive interview, where they shared the story behind their latest creation.
“The idea was to bring a mix of raw energy and street style,” Manpxwerr explained. “The AF1 is already a classic, but I wanted to fuse it with the bold, electrifying aesthetic of Monster Energy—something that feels alive.”
The result? A sneaker that bursts with neon greens, electric patterns, and textured overlays that mirror the intensity of the drink itself. From the metallic swoosh to the hand-painted details, each pair is a unique piece of wearable art. “Every sneaker I make tells a story,” they said, “and this one’s all about power, energy, and standing out from the crowd.”
As for what’s next? Manpxwerr teased future collaborations and hinted that this won’t be the last time we see Monster’s signature style on the sneaker scene. If today’s panel was any indication, this designer’s journey is just getting started—and we’re here for it!
