Footbag-Inspired Sneakers

The Latest Nike SB Sneakers Feature Hacky Sack Patterns

— April 17, 2014 — Fashion
The popular 80s and 90s footbag called the Hacky Sack is making a comeback in the form of a shoe. Nike's latest collection called the Nike SB Stefan Janoski 'Hacky Sack Pack' will feature skateboard sneakers patterned like the once-popular woven sacks.

The shoes feature a multi-colored Baja print. While the pattern may seen too overwhelming at first, the brightly woven hues are perfectly downplayed by the standard Nike SB Dunk accents, which consist of black brims and white soles.

They will be exclusively released at PacSun stores on April 19th. These iconic toy-inspired shoes are sure to bring back some memories to those who grew up during the grunge era. They may even inspire others to take up the game, which could further result in another Hacky Sack trend cycle!
