Celebrating the recent launch of the HUF x Haroshi x DLX collaboration, HUF hosted an Opening Ceremony showcasing the sculptures. Music was provided by Tommy Guerrero, Money Mark, Ray Barbee & Fredo Ortiz. After the live performance and beer consumption, what better way to end the night than an ollie contest over the Haroshi designed “Fire Hydrant”. Check out what went down. Enjoy!

Real Skateboard’s Peter Ramondetta’s Arm, the tattoo’s are of exact placement. Haroshi burned the tattoos into the wood by hand. Sold at the Opening Ceremony for … $30,000.

The Spitfire wheel. Spins with the help of Spitfire Classics acting as a bearing. Sold for a remarkable $30,000.

The Guitar. Modeled around musician and co-founder of Real Skateboards, Tommy Guerrero. TG played a couple of sets during the end of the Opening Ceremony with this beaut.

The Dog. Real Skateboard’s Pro, Dennis Busenitz is not only known for his fast SF style skating but also for his spot companion, Gary the dog.

The fire hydrant has been used as an obstacle in skateboarding for years. Real Alumni and HUF owner, Keith Hufnagel made the fire hydrant famous. Yes, this too is made from skateboard decks.

To commemorate the art, all parts of the collaboration joined forces to design a capsule collection around the designs provided by the japanese sculptor. Deluxe designed the hardgoods; a set of Spitfire wheels, a “Ramondetta Arm” Real deck, and a Krooked “Huf Zinger” Deck. HUF took their luxury aesthetic roots to use to design a couple t-shirts, hats, a 3/4 baseball sleeve, a hoodie and a pair of Hufnagel Pro’s. Check out the one-of-a-kind limited edition Collection below.

The Collection is available @ Momentum Marketplace

*The apparel may be available in the future.

Complex hopped on the “ISH (insert type of person) Say” train with this sneakerhead version. It’s actually a little bit funny, but I feel like they could’ve done a better version like the classic “How To Be A Hypebeast” video.

Frank Ocean dropped a new song the other night; and I’m not really sure what this is for but it’s short and sweet. I believe he is dropping a true album this year too!

An instantly recognizable Penfield style, the Rockford is a lightweight and versatile alternative to the expedition parka. Featuring our premium 80/20 down, this style has been updated this season with a soft corduroy collar to provide added comfort.

Two snap closure chest pockets keep essential items safe, while the fleece-lined bottom pockets are perfectly positioned to keep your hands warm. The tough nylon outer fabric and authentic plaid shoulder yoke ensure that this piece stays true to its roots in the great outdoors.

Remodeled to compliment the women’s silhouette, the Rockford is a true Penfield original.
