MADE IN THE USA

Developed with legendary ultra-runner Max Jolliffe, winner and record holder of Badwater 135: widely considered to be the toughest foot race in the world. APEX:MAX introduces an all-new custom shield geometry inspired by mountain ridgelines and the natural forms found in the desert landscape. While the APEX platform remains unchanged, the collaboration features an exclusive ZEISS shield lens developed specifically for the project. Every lens is individually cut, laser engraved with HOTTER THAN HELL, and hand assembled in the USA.

Featuring ZEISS ThermoForce™ technology, the lens helps reduce infrared radiation (780–2000 nm), minimizing heat build-up around the eyes in extreme environments like Death Valley. Built for extreme heat. Engineered for long days on the move.

Max Jolliffe recently won Badwater 135, widely considered to be the toughest foot race in the world: 217 km through the desert in extreme heat, where he also set a new record. This collaboration was developed specifically for that race, with technical features built to counter heat build-up in the lens and frame.
