HUF LA

[eyyowassup]

yea imo i think huf should stay in sf but thats cool if they have it in LA, nothing wrong with another nice store to hit up, especially since they carry somebrands that other stores dont =)

 

[rhythmentality]

Spread it out.



Fairfax/Melrose area is getting oversaturated.

i hope huf closes down in la cause its a frisco thing!

HUF is a business just like everyone else. They're not concerned about 'staying true' to their roots or any other shop for that matter. Ifa business has the luxury of opening more stores and feel that they can be successful in multiple areas, then they're going to do it. Expansion isinevitable if you want to continue making $$$, but I believe if the market keeps on getting even more saturated with all this sneaker and clothing madness,then one if not all will surely fail in the future.

Agreed.

But you can't doubt that they do enough business that warrants an L.A. store.

That crooks and castles store is the heat though!!

How you gonna say HUF is whack but prefer Crooks over them? Crooks has ran the same design over and over for the last two years, yet kids are buying themthinking they're still cool. Not only that, HUF uses CYC blanks from Canada for their outerwear (crewnecks, hoodies, etc). Meaning, they use the sameblanks as Supreme and Alife. CYC also produces upscale labels like Spruce, Wings and Horns (W+H), and Reigning Champ. If you don't know those three namesthen you haven't been in the game long enough. HUF doesn't cut corners on their products, most of the clothings they do are either made in the USA,Japan, or Canada. Some designs are suspect but the quality and construction of the garments are definitely on point. Notice HUF doesn't sell their ownproducts to Karmaloop or other chain streetwear store to gain recognition, hence, the quality of their clothings are top notch and not mass produced. Comparethat to C&C who uses the same design over and over, tweaking it a little bit at a time, and having all their stuff made from China. I think the only reasonwhy C&C sells so well is because their design catches the attention of young individuals who are influenced by the whole "gansta" appeal or bythe thought of being a bandit.
As a savvy shopper, why would you pick C&C over HUF? Don't tell me you're going to rock the bandito steez for 5 years straight lol.

I'll support crooks like how i support nike. Nike got the same old crack/elephant print but people still buy it. Its just a staple. Crooks does havethe bandito design which is like staple icon now, but trust me if you look past the fast gaining popularity of its growth by the youth you'll find somefresh peices and design along the way. As for Huf the stuff was dope when that dude Benny Gold was designing, Now a days Im not to sure I would wear a"STOOPS" shirt or hat, I wouldn't want to be labled stoops (STOOPS=east coast slang for stupid! haha watch the movie Kids).

What about their t-shirts? I just checked the tag of my crewneck, the one with the embroidered Bandito steez in the middle, and that one is made in Korea.

 

[xdawud]

[sfnikes]

They carry huf in some locations here in la and the O.C. Im from sf originally myself but i see alot of people wearing huf down here so i dont see the big dealabout the store opening. just another way for them to up theire rep

"I personally do not prefer their merchandise."
'How you gonna say HUF is whack but prefer Crooks over them?'
Damn Folks! You can't just personally PREFER someone else's products no more, unless it's conceived better quality? U like what you like.

AnyWay, do your thing HUF. I ain't mad at'cha. Got nothin' but love for you...
