The Max Shoes 2014 ad campaign gives the stylish wares a bit of personality. Essentially taking the previous year's campaign to the next level, which boasted clever product placement, this time around human faces were completely replaced by the dress shoes and sandals being promoted.
Conceived and executed by Jung Von Matt/Limmat, an ad agency based in Zurich, Switzerland, the Max Shoes 2014 ad campaign reads, "You are what you wear." Hence the supposed morphing into their chic footwear. The campaign was art directed by David Hanselmann with creative direction by Alexander Jaggy. The playful images were shot by photography duo Mierswa & Kluska and tweaked by graphic designers Tanja Jablanovic and Alban Schelbert.
