Water fights. Neon colours. Sunscreen in your eyes. Welcome to Master Blaster, a full-blown nostalgia trip back to the greatest Aussie summers ever.
Inspired by the legendary Super Soaker era, this design is a shoutout to the 90’s kids who turned backyards into battlegrounds and neighbourhoods into splash zones.
Get ready to lock, load, and let it spray.
Inspiration
Designed by Juan Villamil, Master Blaster channels that chaotic, sun-drenched magic of growing up in the 90’s.
Remember the days of water gun wars, plastic slides on scorched grass, and endless afternoons spent reloading at the garden hose? That’s the heart of this drop, unapologetically loud, completely over the top, and bursting with fun.
The artwork pulls from retro graffiti, vintage toy packaging, and old-school summer party posters, drenched in neon pinks, purples, yellows, and aqua blues. Think MTV graphics meets backyard mayhem.
Juan’s signature comic style makes every detail pop: from the pressurised tanks to the slick water spray, every gun looks ready to soak your best mate in 0.3 seconds flat.
Design
Master Blaster is a neon explosion of energy, a repeating wall of colour and chaos that captures that mid-90’s playground adrenaline.
Each blaster comes to life with electric gradients, metallic details, and splash graphics that practically move across the fabric. Behind the action, geometric shapes and squiggles nod to the wild design era of cassette covers and arcade carpet patterns.
This isn’t subtle. It’s splash-you-before-breakfast energy. The kind of print that makes you want to start a water war with anyone who looks too dry.
Production
Like all Knobby gear, Master Blaster doesn’t just look epic, it’s made to move, play, and survive the Aussie summer heat.
Choose your weapon:
-
BottleBlend® – Made from up to five recycled plastic bottles, this ultra-soft, moisture-wicking fabric keeps you cool, dry, and comfortable while you’re out making waves.
-
Naturals – Crafted from TENCEL™ Modal yarn for breathable, buttery comfort that’s as soft as slipping into a freshly filled kiddie pool.
Both styles pack serious comfort power, whether you’re dodging water balloons, hitting the coast, or just soaking up that summer nostalgia.
The Feeling
Excitement. Heat. Chaos. Nostalgia.
Master Blaster is pure 90’s summer, the kind that starts with a hose fight and ends with soggy socks and a grin you can’t wipe off.
It’s fun, fearless, and full of that Knobby spark that never really grew up.
So grab your blaster, rally your mates, and dive into December the only way we know how - loud, bright, and soaking wet.
