In sad news, HUF Worldwide founder, Keith Hufnagel has died following a brain cancer battle. Hufnagel’s death has definitely sat the skateboarding and streetwear world on its head.

Keith “HUF” Hufnagel was in the midst of a two year battle with the disease and unfortunately succumbed to it with his wife, Mariellen, friends and children by his side.

We are absolutely heartbroken to deliver the news today that HUF founder Keith Hufnagel has passed away. Keith battled brain cancer for the past 2.5 years. And though he beat the odds and fought back much longer than his diagnosis permitted, he ultimately and unfortunately lost the fight.

Keith was not only the “HUF”nagel in HUF. He was the heart and soul of this brand. He built and brought together a community of people like no one else could.

Keith paved the way for all of us – as a respected professional skateboarder, shop owner, brand founder, footwear and apparel designer, creative director, and industry leader. He showed us how to do it, and how do it right.

Keith loved skateboarding and the culture around it. He did things his way and did them for the right reasons. He inspired so many of us across the globe.

But above anything else, Keith loved and supported the people around him. He would do anything for his friends, family and children. He passionately wanted to see others succeed. And we all loved him for it.

Keith’s legacy will continue to live on at HUF. Today, tomorrow and forever.

Rest in peace, Keith.

Michael Jordan And Danny Hamlin Create NASCAR Team With Bubba Wallace

Not one to shy away from new challenges, Michael Jordan will now try his hand at NASCAR. The NBA Legend will join forces with Danny Hamlin and will enlist Bubba Wallace to drive for the team. Wallace will leave Richard Petty Motorsports to drive for “His Airness.”

“Growing up in North Carolina, my parents would take my brothers, sisters and me to races, and I’ve been a NASCAR fan my whole life. The opportunity to own my own racing team in partnership with my friend, Denny Hamlin, and to have Bubba Wallace driving for us, is very exciting for me. Historically, NASCAR has struggled with diversity and there have been few Black owners. The timing seemed perfect as NASCAR is evolving and embracing social change more and more. In addition to the recent commitment and donations I have made to combat systemic racism, I see this as a chance to educate a new audience and open more opportunities for Black people in racing.”

In terms of roles for the team, Jordan will be the principal owner with Hamlin serving as minority partner but will continue to drive for Joe Gibbs. Not since Wendell Scott has there been a black majority owner of a NASCAR team which happened in the 60’s through the 70’s.
