The team at HUF has done a fine job fitting into the skate-sneaker world ever since they took it upon themselves to start banging out their own models rather than stick to the collab stuff. The latest crop, Part 2 of their Spring 2013 collection, has plenty to offer for fans of their minimal silhouettes. Included are the HUF Mateo, HUF Pepper Pro, HUF Genuine, HUF Choice, HUF Hupper, HUF Southern, and more. Take a look at all the styles right after the jump and then head to HUF to pick up whichever pair you please right now.

We’ve gotten used to hemp-infused and otherwise herbally-inspired sneakers come April of each year, but for HUF’s latest reminder of where they’re headquartered, autumn is a good time to harvest the crop. The High Times x HUF Hupper brings back the hightop model used for last year’s “420 Pack” release, only this time, instead of being covered in the same seven-bladed leaves that mark the matching Plantlife socks, these opt for an all hemp build with mostly the implication of greenery thanks to ‘High Times’ embroidery and a stash pocket on the tongue. Check them out below, let us know how they compare to the aforementioned design (or even Curren$y’s work with DMND) and grab these today from Oneness.

Scientists have determined that there are some serious physiological dangers involved with wearing high heels, but fear not — this isn’t that kind of ‘elevated’ shoe. Just when you thought California’s green rush is over, local skate brand HUF comes through with their latest collective effort and keeps the now infamous ‘Plantlife’ sock on center stage. The High Times x HUF Hupper was crafted in hemp (very ‘Bonsai’-like) to echo the theme of this eleven-piece capsule that includes tees, hats, and of course, the popular serrated leaf socks. The set is limited to 420 pieces that’ll light up the HUF e-store and select additional retailers on Friday, September 28th, followed by a release party on October 5th at LA’s Lexington Social Club.

HUF has been relatively quiet since their ‘glass sculpture’ collabo with Skate Mental made waves on April 20th, but that’s not just because they’ve been chilling, eating junk food for two weeks. To the contrary, Keith Hufnagel’s namesake label has prepared a summer 2012 collection that’s their largest footwear spread to date, clear evidence that the move away from vertical integration and toward wider distribution is indeed paying off. Check out new colorways on familiar styles like the HUF Hupper, Choice and HUF 1, along with newer silos like the 1984, Mateo and Morton and grab yours from the HUF online store.

HUF no longer operates brick and mortar storefronts in Keith Hufnagel’s home state, but the move toward wider outside distribution has allowed the brand to keep moving forward. The first delivery for spring 2012 brings back familiar models like the HUF Hupper and Huf1, all done in classic colorways that hit on today’s trend embracing crisp old school palettes. The photography in this lookbook is particularly engaging, a series of New York-at-night shots that depict skateboarding around the Big Apple in such an appetizing way as to explain why this brand’s URL just had to be changed to ‘Huf Worldwide’. Check out the shots after the jump and look for these at skate shops across the country.

Their website URL has changed to reflect the fact that HUF is no longer a San Francisco staple, but rather, a globally distributed brand that continues to expand its footwear catalog despite the closure of three flagship locations. Proof that Keith Hufnagel’s label is moving forward with a head of steam can be found in this new collection of kicks for the holiday season and especially with the new HUF Coooper. This high/mid cut casual sneaker is the latest in a long line of oxford-leaning casual sneakers but the combination of premium waxed leather and crisp, simple branding prove that this company still has some heat on its fastball. Check out the Cooper along with a new run of all the HUF footwear staples and look for them at select retailers including the HUF e-store.

Northern California winemakers are among the most obvious examples of artisans whose work gets better with age and San Francisco’s HUF most certainly belongs in that category based on their latest footwear drop. HUF’s fall 2011 collection is easily the brand’s best overall since branching out to their own sneaker offerings a couple years back, a very clean array that draws heavily upon black suede along with tonal/gum offerings. Click through to see new colorways from the HUF Hupper, Choice, Genuine, Southern, HUF1 and Hufnagel Pro along with the the new Milwaukee and Morton lowtops that were introduced over the summer. Click through to see all of them and get over to a HUF stockist like Premier to find some select styles already in stock.
