NEW NIKE SB QUICK STRIKE, KOSTON "HACKY SACK" 10TH MAY May 01 2014

As you may have seen on various blogs recently Nike SB have been working on a capsule collection based around the concept of ‘Hacky sacks’ and the association their aesthetic has with the celebrations of 4/20… (arriving a little late in Europe)

 

The idea was originally conceived by Nike SB designers when they came across a piece of fabric that reminded them of the woven Hacky Sacks that were popular among ‘stoners’ during the 1980s.

Hacky Sacks and skateboarding might not seem like an obvious pairing, but before the arrival of Youtube, Californian skate shop employees would apparently take to kicking them around when business was slow.
