Minnesota native Maxwell Lund beat out a field of 64 designers from around the world to win this year’s Pensole x Foot Locker World Sneaker Championship. Public bracket-style voting from the top 64 finalists around the globe closed with two finalists and then a panel of industry judges selected the final design.
