HUF for Converse 1HUND(RED) Artists Skidgrip Hi

I came by the Huf near my house to check out the Huf for Converse 1Hund(RED)s this past weekend & to say whats up to DonPoppa & Fitz since I haven't seen them in awhile. These are pretty sick. I'm thinking about purchasing them 'cause 1. I want new sneakers, 2. they're pretty cute on females, & 3. cause I missed out on the Vans' 3FeetHigh x Huf sneakers last summer. By the way, I'm hella out of the shoe game.

"Enlisted as a contributor to the 1HUND(RED) project, Keith Hufnagel and Hanni El Khatib, worked with Converse designers to create the Huf version of the Converse Skidgrip, a shoe from the Converse archives that originally debuted in the 1980s. “We wanted to reference the skate and surf vibe of the 1980s and the Skidgrip was a great, authentic foundation.” Keeping the styling clean and simple Huf gave it monochromatic black canvas uppers with a repeat “H” pattern on outer and lining that subtly references vintage skate graphics and type.

As a contributor to 1HUND(RED), a percentage of the net wholesale price of the shoe will go to help fight AIDS in Africa, giving consumers an opportunity to become agents of change and offering a way to turn design into power."
