Calhoun’s mandate to the All Star team was simple: Assume we don’t know our customers as well as we think we do — get to know them better. Copcutt did so by playing roadie to his son’s London-based rock band, Zoax. He spent weeks at a time tagging along as they played beside bands with names like the Howling, Axewound, and the Cancer Bats, asking everyone who’d talk to him what they wanted from a pair of Chucks.
