DUSTIN AKSLAND x HUF

"Twenty years ago, HUF opened the doors to their first shop, at 808 Sutter St. in San Francisco," explains Dustin. "That same month, and just two blocks away, at 625 Sutter St., I began art school. The next four years, I spent my waking hours in the darkroom of that building, inevitably passing the HUF shop at least twice daily.

The shop was the hub of the neighborhood, an eclectic community of skaters, cyclists, artists, sneaker/fashion heads, neighborhood weirdos, and people just passing through town. I continued to live in that neighborhood for nine years and became close friends with many people through the shop, a few of whom I’m grateful to still be friends with today."

He started shooting campaigns in 2019 and the creative collaboration—and frienship—has continued since then. Check out a few recent campaigns below.
