Moustache Johnny
HUF has long been respected and looked at as a beacon for individuality and creativity within the global skateboard community. Even more directly, though, the NYC skateboarding community is an unbreakable bond. That connection to the streets of New York and the kids who would have nothing if it weren’t for a chance to skate is more than a dream or some corporate mission statement. It’s a passion and a lifelong commitment to the opportunities HUF can create.
One of the ways to ensure that kids keep getting that opportunity is through community involvement organizations like the Harold Hunter Foundation (HHF). The HUF team has once again joined forces with the Harold Hunter Foundation with the release of a small capsule collection celebrating the legacy of the late Harold Hunter. The two-piece collection is made up of an embroidered fleece hoodie reading ‘HAROLD’ alongside a graphic tee showcasing a black and white portrait of Harold with the message ‘LEGENDS NEVER DIE.
Born in 1974, Harold quickly became a prominent figure in the New York City 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 HUF founder 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.
The tee and hoodie are available in limited quantities now 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. While you’re at it, keep it locked with The Culture Curators for more streetwear selections coming soon!
