Hacky sacks is a type of woven footbag that is usually round and small, and normally used as a past-time sport by balancing and controlling using one’s feet. Nike’s designers were out and about on the streets of Tokyo one day and spotted the fabrics which reminded them of the famous hacky sacks that were a big hit back in the 1980’s. And that is how this release got it’s name.
The designers pulled the texture of the fabric and placed them on some of Nike SB’s classic silhouettes, namely the ‘Stefan Janoski’, ‘Eric Koston 1’ and the ‘Project BA’ (which is sadly not reaching out Malaysian shores). The woven print can be seen spread out through the uppers on both shoes, which stands out pretty nicely due to the colourful nature of the design.
The Nike SB “Hacky Sack” Pack will be made available this coming Saturday (19/04/14) at SHOWROOM and will be retailing at RM359 for both the silhouettes.
