As a result, China came up with the idea to open a small store in the fashion district of San Francisco. He sold clothes, shoes and various accessories for active people. Unexpectedly for China itself, the business was developing rapidly. But the ever-growing demand for goods required expansion. Hafnagel noticed the great interest of customers and created his own brand HUF.
Under this brand, Keith began manufacturing sneakers and some men's clothing. Today, the range of HUF products has expanded significantly: socks, sportswear, accessories for skateboards, comfortable shoes, etc.
