Skateboard legend Keith Hufnagel, raised in New York City, founded HUF in San Francisco in 2002. Starting with a small boutique, Hufnagel had the vision to create a brand that combined skateboarding, streetwear, and sneaker fashion. Since its inception, HUF has grown into an independent manufacturer of premium apparel, footwear, and skateboarding goods. By skateboarders, for skateboarders - HUF is arguably one of the most authentic streetwear brands of the 2000s. This is also evident in its close ties to the scene, such as regular tours with Thrasher Skateboard Magazine. Numerous collaborations, including those with Chief Keef, Ty Dolla Sign, FTP, Cheech & Chong, and Penthouse Magazine, demonstrate how versatile and well-connected HUF is today.
