HUF once again joins forces with the Harold Hunter Foundation (HHF) to produce a small capsule featuring iconic photos and artwork celebrating the Harold legacy. Stand out pieces from the collection are comprised of a hoodie and tee in a subdued tie-dye color palette sporting archived Harold photos and bold graffiti style artwork reading “RIP HAROLD HUNTER” and “LEGENDS NEVER DIE”.
Born in 1974, Harold quickly became a prominent figure in the NYC skate scene, traveling the world with the Zoo York team, appearing in TV shows, and starring in films such as the cult classic KIDS. Both natives to the city, Harold and Keith Hufnagel became friends in the 1980s, skating historic NYC spots such as the Brooklyn Banks, Washington Square, and Astor Place up until Harold’s untimely passing in 2006.
As part of Harold Hunter Weekend in NYC, the HUF skate team will also be hosting a demo at ‘12th & A’ in the East Village on Saturday, June 1 from 6pm-8pm.
Available in limited quantities, the collection retails from $16-70 and is set to release May 30th exclusively through HUF’s flagship stores and online shop. A portion of all proceeds will be donated to the foundation to benefit at-risk inner city youth.
