If you visit Hypebeast’s main page and especially its forums on a regular basis then chances are you are familiar with HUF sneaker and clothing store. The San Francisco shop has been a staple on the west coast for years, providing consumers with hard to find kicks and tees that was usually associated with east coast style. Hypebeast recently sat down with skateboard legend and HUF creator Keith Hufnagel in an interview that gets in-depth on the origins of Keith’s skating career, why he decided to open HUF originally and some inside information on his brand new shop opening in Los Angeles. The video features some, vintage photos, excellent footage of Keith shredding the urban terrain on his skateboard as well as some shots of the HUF store.

Nike Be True Chronicles Ura | AKA

Posted by: Staff / Also tagged as: , , / Comments: 0

After a series of fast and furious updates from Nike's Be True Chronicles, the website entered into a temporary hibernation. However the site has been updated with two new Dunks and the subsequent stories behind them. They include the Ura Dunk Low and AKA Dunk Low. The AKA Dunk Low was masterminded by Allen Benedikt, founder of the graffiti magazine 12ozPROPHET. The seven Dunk set (Turned-On Yellow, Groovy Green, Hash Brown, Hot-Dog Mustard, Out of Site Orange, Groovy Pink and Moody Blue) was inspired by the aesthetics of Wet Look spray cans with only 5 sets in total produced. One of the sets were in turn auctioned off for New York City's children charity Free Arts. The AKA pack also was the defining point for NikeID as the once exclusive choices would eventually make their way to the NikeID platform. As part of the City Attack Pack exclusive to Japan, the collection played to the collective Japanese love of the Dunk which up until the City Pack's release in 1999 was scarce in availability. The Ura Dunk was released exclusively in the trend setting Harajuku area and despite the low production numbers, the wearing of the Ura became a great experience rather then a memento left to the confines of one's closet. From there on it set the stage for the Japanese Dunk explosion.
