Year: 2006

San Francisco's HUF has been the reigning West Coast collaborative overlord across brands for a minute, but its work with Nike has been exceptional. It's easy to get caught up on the earthquake-themed "Huf Quake," but the Louis Vuitton-looking brown and gold used on this Clerk's Pack effort edges that shoe out. Some luxury concepts catch a brick though bungled executions, but the reptile effect on that swoosh, gold accent on the Air unit, and enough restraint to use plenty of mesh makes this a superior effort.
