I made my first Myers pair for myself. This was my first time putting a knife on the side of a shoe, and I went with a big butcher knife.

Getting it attached took some figuring out. I tried a screw, but the leather was too thin. You could feel the hardware inside the shoe. Glue and epoxy worked at first, but over time, that attachment didn’t hold up with a rigid piece on a shoe that needed to flex.

Figuring out the construction

These versions are part of that journey. Looking back at the work lets me see the ideas I kept and the construction I wanted to improve.

One concept, different versions

The Myers Jumbo Blazer and the red Myers AF1 are part of this same story. Different silhouettes and color choices, all connected by the Myers concept. I keep these versions together so you can see the idea across the work.

Coming back to the idea

Around a year ago, I came back to the idea. I layered the paneling using a similar approach to Good Guys and Hello Sidney. By then, I had more experience to bring to the construction, and I loved how it turned out.

The hair divided opinions. To me, it represented the hair on the Michael Myers mask. That detail made sense to me, even when other people didn’t connect with it.

A fan favorite

This year, Myers became a fan favorite. As of November 2026, it’s my top-selling design of the year.

An idea I first made for myself became something I could return to with more experience. That’s what I like about revisiting an old design: seeing what I can do with it now.
