Volumetric backpacks with spikes, bubbles and other textures, made in poisonously bright colors and at first glance reminiscent of an aggressive accessory, are not futuristic designs for future school bags, but real products of the American brand MadPax. Backpacks are created in a hooligan style. According to the company's slogans, these accessories are a combination of funky and punk styles that help children of all ages stand out from the crowd. The assortment of the brand also has thermal bags, pencil cases and backpacks of various sizes.
About company
American Backpacks MadPax is the brainchild of the eponymous company, organized by Tina Huber and Mike Cordoban, from Arizona and Phoenix. This fact affects the design of accessories that cry out to the crowd about the democracy and independence of the owner. The brand name translates as “crazy world”, or “crazy people”.
The attribute is intended for bold individuals, so the goods of this company are unlikely to appeal to conservative office workers or modest schoolchildren.
An advertising campaign aimed at promoting MadPax products urges teenagers to free themselves from the bubble symbolizing a society with a single ideology. This is evidenced by the publication of a photo with the boy depicted on it, behind whose back is a backpack with MadPax bubbles. The guy is trying to pierce the ball with his finger, thus showing his desire to break out of his peers and externally demonstrate his extraordinary personality.

Which backpack is best for school?
The first condition is weight. Madpex products are lightweight and have different sizes, which helps to choose a backpack for children of different age categories. For a child up to 1.2 meters tall, it is better to purchase a medium-sized accessory (half pack). A full backpack of the full pack company is perfect for children from 1.5 meters tall.
The choice of color depends on the wishes of the child and the dress code that some specialized schools show. A universal option will be "non-toxic" colors in gray, burgundy, brown tones. Models of bubbles and blocks look more restrained than studded backpacks. By the way, it is worth knowing that the spikes on the product are soft and safe for others. At the same time, one medium-sized backpack can accommodate textbooks, a 15-inch laptop, and A-4 format album sheets that cannot be remembered.
A child, having chosen an extraordinary backpack at least once, will be happy to want a similar accessory for himself next year. And this is an opportunity to extend the student’s desire to walk another year with the right attribute, from which scoliosis does not develop. Plus, it helps inspire confidence in the student.
