THE BRIEF:
Howl + Hide x GANGGANG
Utilizing the same leather used for NBA basketballs, create an avant garde art product that challenges mindsets.
The core of GANGGANG’s mission revolves around centering the care and economic viability of creatives. By providing Christian Resiak (Howl + Hide) with the platform to express + showcase the depths of his artistic ability, this capsule collection perfectly embodies that mission. The result is the most technically challenging + fashion forward items to come out of the Howl + Hide workshop.
At the heart of this collection lies Horween leather, renowned for its quality over the past 100 years and across five family generations. For the past two decades every basketball in the NBA has been made utilizing Horween leather, a testament to its exceptional quality. The care and attention to detail Horween applies to the creation of their leather is honored throughout Christian’s process. Combining two Horween leathers, Christian has crafted artistic creations that respect tradition and antiquity, while reinventing their application with an avant garde perspective.
Howl + Hide would like to thank GANGGANG and Horween for their contribution to this project. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to GANGGANG to help further activate the creative economy.
