DVS x Huf x Mighty Healthy

dvs huf mightyhealthy sneakers DVS x Huf x Mighty Healthy

Long time friends Keith Hufnagel and Ray Mate from Mighty Healthy NYC got together with DVS to work on a line of clothing and sneakers. The line consists of several apparel pieces including a reversible grey and black vest, branded T-shirts, as well as two custom colorized shoe designs—the Huf 5 Runner and the Huf 5 mid. The color scheme used in the line, according to Mate, was inspired by the colors of Xavier High School—a Jesuit school located in the Chelsea Neighborhood in Manhattan that Huf attended growing up. Via DVS/CtotheJL.

The product begins shipping in early November and can be found in select skate shops throughout the world.

On a side note, the interview also mentions that Huf is opening a retail outlet in Tokyo, Japan, this year. Seems like we still have to look out for that.
