My wife and I at the time (Keith Hufnagel’s ex-wife Anne Freeman) said, ‘Let’s get the f*** outta LA. Let’s just change it up.’ We decided to move to San Francisco.
“I’d been traveling for a decade, seeing what was happening in Tokyo, New York, LA, London,” Hufnagel continued. “I was hitting all these major cities and seeing this streetwear and sneaker culture happening. It was all over the place. I was like, ‘Well, I’d like to do a streetwear concept store of what I see around the world.’ And that was kind of how [HUF] got started.”
