This season, HUF proudly presents its Spring 2019 Collection, a dynamic apparel and footwear offering celebrating HUF founder Keith Hufnagel’s roots as a skateboarder brought up in 90s-era New York City.
Looking to iconic NYC landmarks, skate spots, and street-level vernacular, the collection captures the city’s diverse spirit while bridging Big Apple-nostalgia with contemporary times. Thematic patterns such as the “Highline” floral evoke springtime in the city’s parks, historic periodicals-inspired repeats take shape in the “Fake News” and “Blacked Out” prints, and interwoven graphics riff on vintage NYC paraphernalia. Featured footwear consists of special-edition team rider colorways, customized by Jake Anderson, Dick Rizzo, and Matt Gottwig.
To commemorate the release, graffiti-artist and long-time friend of the brand, Eric Haze, has hand-painted a HUF mural at NYC’s renown 12th & A skate spot in the Lower East Side.
The Spring collection retails from $10-$120 and is set to release February 14th at HUF’s flagship stores, HUF online, and at finer retailers worldwide.
