That is fairly the haul, nevertheless it’s an ideal mixture of things to honor her character, Max Mayfield. I’m excited to see if she finally ends up carrying any of Max’s footwear in the course of the official press tour for Season 5, each time that could be. (Plus, I am tremendous jealous that she was gifted the skateboard.)
