Fans of 'Stranger Things' are now able to purchase the board used by the character known as Mad Max in the second season of the Netflix-original sci-fi drama, which is a part of the new Madrid Skateboards collection.
In addition to the Madrid Skateboards' red and fuchsia board that Max uses throughout the second season, the brand launched a series of others that honor the show more directly. This includes ones that feature Chief of Police Jim Hopper, Eleven, and the monstrous creatures that come from the alternate dimension that's known as "the upside down."
While the majority of the Stranger Things boards run for about $70 USD, the nostalgic replica of Max's costs $250 USD.
