| Zevo-3 | comment |
A Nicktoons cartoon about three superheroes with the radical names of Z-Strap, Kewl Breeze, and Elastica, and who are based on Sketchers sneakers. While many think it was a 30-minute sneaker commercial, not only were shoes almost never mentioned, as it went on, it became a dark story, hinting at a vast conspiracy at work. Unfortunately, the show was cancelled before this could be fully explored. | |

| Zevo-3 / int_1c1d243c | comment |
Brother–Sister Team: Matt and Ellie. Oddly, they often refer to each other by their superhero handles when in costume. Hell, Ellie calls him by name (middle included) while in costume in the middle of hostile territory. | |

| Zevo-3 / int_54cc6b24 | comment |
Le Parkour: Z-Strap was able to do this on a skateboard before he even got his powers. He now doesn't need a board; particularly prevalent in "Sacrifice". Although they call it free running. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| Zevo-3 / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Matt is the reason that he and the others are superheroes: a crazed super villain with a penchant for super soldiers is on the loose, the mayor is trying to wipe said superheroes off the face of the Earth, and products of that scientist's mad dreams have destroyed a number of buildings and probably killed a lot of people. All because some boy genius fell for some Schmuck Bait. | |

Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse | |
| Zevo-3 / int_ad17a1ac | comment |
Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: Crust Sparrow is the leader of the Moloks, a group of mutants who were fused to parts of the Footville Subway System by the Zevo Compound. He rules the Moloks with an iron fist and treats the subway as a kingdom. He believes that the Moloks' mutations were caused by the gods of transformation, so every year he would make a sacrifice to please the gods. Kewl Breeze was planned to be this year's sacrifice. Kewl is rescued by Z-Strap and Elastika, who comes with Crust's own son Bugs, who ran away from the Moloks some time ago. When Bugs asks what happened to him, Crust says his life was ruined, and Bugs fires back that he ruined everyone else's life. | |

Product Placement | |
| Zevo-3 / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: In spades, most notably in the main characters' superhero identities, each named after a line of Skechers kids' sneakers. In fact, the FCC investigated the show, as it apparently violated the guidelines on distinctions between children's advertising and children's programming. Ironically, the shows messaging was very anti-establishment, and paradoxically somewhat anti-capitalist & never mentioned shoes at any point. | |
