Dad Max Goes Shoe Shopping For His Weird Son
I have a lot of thoughts about the Great Shoe Shuffle that happens in Fury Road. OK, first Slit pulls Max’s boot off by accident, so after the crash in the sandstorm, Max takes one of Nux’s shoes because he kinda figured Nux was kinda dead and didn’t need shoes anymore. And then later, in the swamp, Max goes off to kill the Bullet Farmer and comes back… with a boot for Nux.
But like, have you considered what that means?? Nux has been on their side for all of like ten minutes, as far as Max knows. But when he was raiding ammo and a steering wheel from the dead Bullet Farmer’s car, he would’ve had to actually pause and have the following thought process:
1) That is the same War Boy I took a boot from
2) I guess he’s on our side now
3) He is still possibly bootless
4) Since he is friend now I should give him a boot to replace the one I took
Max actually took a moment to consider Nux’s shoeless foot while he was killing the Bullet Farmer and raiding ammo from the enemies he had just blown up. DAD MAX, EVERYONE.

Tags: props, fury road, I got his boot, and now I have to know, is slit wearing it on the hood of the interceptor?, did he swap it for one of his own boots?, because that would bring a whole new level of meta to max's that's mine comment.
