Known for their eye-catching designs and their deep ties to the skateboarding world, HUF is back. This time around, the imprint has partnered with contemporary Japanese fashion label and boutique United Arrows & Sons once again. The two icons have come together for a collaborative capsule collection dubbed HUF x United Arrows “DOWNHILL 2.” The collection was spearheaded by United Arrows & Sons creative director Motofumi “Poggy” Kogi. The limited-edition range of apparel and accessories is inspired by British ‘Mod’ subculture and the unique style of legendary skateboarder Matt Hensley.
Mr. Hensley is seen modeling the collection alongside HUF founder Keith Hufnagel and HUF team rider Justin Drysen. Standout pieces from the range include a military-inspired MA-1 Jacket and retro M-65 fishtail Mod Coat, both of which incorporate the Downhill Bar Towel along with the left arm panel. Other highlights include the Splash Long Sleeve Button Up and Bucket Hat featuring a multi-colored paint splatter motif and the Accordion Long Sleeve Tee. The latter being a nod to Matt Hensley’s current position as an accordionist for the renowned Celtic punk band Flogging Molly. The HUF x United Arrows & Sons collection is available now and can be found exclusively at HUF and United Arrows & Son’s flagship, as well as online stores.
Check out the new collection in the images below and pick up your favorite pieces immediately. In the meantime, keep it locked with The Culture Curators for more style and streetwear options coming very soon.
