Obey hit us with a restock with one of the more popular snapbacks that we've had this past year. The Trademark Snapback is a standard classic. The 80% wool cap is One Size Fits All and has a throwback green underbill, and is available whilst stocks last in Black/Red Chicago Bulls-style colourway or Black/Grey NWA Raiders-style colourway. Obey Snapbacks are hot property and this hat will Sell Out once again, so come buy it instore or online now!

Everyon loves a Huf snapback and these 4 dropped through the door last week, the one above is the Huf Junior Cord Snapback , lovely material and surely it won't disappoint, the othhe one below is the Huf Circle H Snapback , denim material and quite heavyweight. HUF first opened its doors in August 2002 with the best brands footwear, streetwear and skateboarding had to offer, all under one roof; The roof however was tiny. Even owner Keith Hufnagel didn't have the foresight to imagine how well received his visions would be on an offbeat block of Sutter Street just above the Tenderloin district. HUF quickly grew to be known as San Francisco's premier purveyor of hard to come by goods. Since its Bay Area debut, HUF has opened a new door each year. Each expansion has allowed an opportunity for Hufnagel to bring more of what the NYC native loves to his permamnent home of SF. A professional skateboarder since 1992, Keith has a unique view and ability to blend his inspiratio...
