As announced yesterday, HUF SF will be closing down its retail locations in San Francisco after nine years. The oft-visited sneaker/clothing hot spot, which opened in 2002, was definitely the most well-known location for exclusive kicks in the Bay Area. However, as stated in owner Keith Hufnagel’s official announcement (below), he felt it was time to put more focus on his in-line merchandise.
In attempt to bring back the fondest memories of the Bay Area hot spot, our staff compiled a list of HUF’s extraordinary San Francisco-themed sneakers. In this feature, you will all of HUF’s SF-themed kicks which include the “HUFquake” Nike Air Force 1 and the HUF x Nike SB Air Trainer “Gold Digger” among other kicks. Take a look at our End of an Era: History of HUF’s Best SF themed Sneakers.
HUF x Nike SB Dunk
Released : 2004
HUF incorporated a San Francisco Giants theme to this Nike SB Dunk in a very unique way. It possesses a distressed dark grey leather with a nod to to San Francisco’s hippie culture in the form of orange/black tie-dye side panels. We must applaud HUF for carrying out two city tributes in one sneaker.
