Huf is the mecca for kids who get hard-ons when they see rare pairs of Nike SB Dunks. Pro skater and store founder Keith Hufnagle carved a new standard when he opened the store in 2002, making Huf a staple for limited-edition sneakers and exclusive collaborations with companies like Nike, Vans, and Adidas. When they released the Nike Hufquakes last year, it was like the Star Wars for shoe geeks with sneaker fiends camping out overnight just to drop $100-plus on a pair (or two, to sell one on eBay). With a high-end street-wear clothing boutique two doors down and a shoe store in Hayes Valley added to its arsenal, Huf continues to dominate the skate-hop scene. In April, the temporary "pop up" shop built next door for the Hufquake release, designed to look like a massive earthquake struck it, becomes a skate store.
