Booooooom! x Converse ‘Hack Job’ project

Contemporary art connoisseur Jeff Hamada has teamed up with Converse Skateboarding for a new project that wants you to get creative with the skateboard shape.

All you have to do is make a skateboard-esque creation out of random materials - which can be functional or totally not - take a snapshot and send it to Booooooom! before September 10.

Not only will there be an online gallery featuring all the submissions but Converse will give a pair of kicks to their five favourites.

The possibilities are endless! Here are some examples to spark your imagination.

Check out our interview with Jeff Hamada in HUCK#021, out now.
