Nike Skateboarding and Sean Cliver collaborate on this new devilish holiday consisting of a shoe, hat and t-shirt.
All consistently themed with the idea of Santa Claus and his "helper" Krampus in mind, the collection is based in bold black and red colorways. The red-faced, two-horned head of Krampus is very similar to popular depictions of the devil, however in this case he is the figure who deals with the "naughty" children on Santa's list.
The collection itself seems to focus more on Krampus then on Santa Claus, which may be a reflection of Cliver's personal behavioral tendencies. Was Sean Cliver always on the naughty list as a child? Maybe by now he's very familiar with Krampus.
