Seems wild to be an April Fools prank.

There was a time when these shoes defined the industry

I found a salesman sample of these shoes a few years ago at a thrift store. Still have 'em.

I used to love huf shoes in highschool the shop I grew up by would always have a few on the sale rack, the ones pictured above would turn into potato sacks after a few sessions but I didn’t care, my fave of there shoes was the one with the samba esc toe box can’t remember what they were called but they were really good to me.
I’d skate them again but seems kind of weird to bring back “huf” shoes after huf had decided he didn’t want to make huf shoes anymore before his passing.

Loved the classic lo back when I had stronger knees. I wonder if they’re doing this as partly an April fools joke and partly to see if it would be worth their time to produce these shoes again.

If it's not an April Fools thing then I assume it'll just be cheap basic lifestyle shoes

They just posted a "Gone but not forgotten" shirt on Instagram and are putting Larry David gifs in the replies... safe to say someone got fooled

Dispite it being the day before April fools, the hype in that comment section was real. Maybe they’ll use the engagement data, to make a decision in the future.

It was promo for this shirt that says “RIP HUF SHOES 2010-2019”. I have a screenshot but this damn website never lets me post screenshots without at least 20 minutes of troubleshooting file sizes lol

Goddamn it! Hopefully they were testing the waters for a potential reboot.

Can I preorder the classics now? Low and hi in every colorway please

the whole huf footwear ending + both keith and dylan passing was always weird/ off to me. the timing of it all.

huf footwear was the only skater own brand that could legit compete with the big 3 and still keep its “cool”.  Many people would still skate huf today.

Like its insane to me how new balance and asics are now the “cool” shoe brands. it should be huf

Huf and Tactics owned by the same mega corporation from Japan pretending to do collabs with each other. Major cringe.

The classics had the most perfect shape and toe cap. I always thought it was weird that they discontinued them because because they were one of the most popular shoes at the time. Only con to them was the insole.
