CREATIVE. DESIGN. MANAGEMENT.
DESCRIPTION: The HESH2 is an evolution of the original style and one of the first styles designed and engineered 100% by the inhouse development team.
TEAM: Direction/iD-Rick Alden, Pete Kelly, iD-Donnie Stiff, Production/3D support-Vapor Studios, Engineer-Colin Godby, Art Direction-Kevin Horsburgh
CONTEXT: The original Hesh was one of Skullcandy’s factory sourced styles that was uber successful but incredibly flawed in terms of quality and reliability. We had up to 20% returns from snapped slide adjusters. Its the reason Skullcandy’s return policy was lifetime full replacement.
The HESH2 project had a few must-have design criteria; “keep the cans” (earcups), “make it cool like oakley designed it” and needs to have both a modern injected headband and trendy textile headband.
