Not as crazy expensive as you'd think.Originally Posted by kingcrux31

Aaanyways.
But yeah, wholesale > retail
Wholesale isn't necessarily better than retail, or vice versa. The way we see it, they work together. Retail makes sense for us because we are so control-freakish about our brand, so we have the stores to provide homebases and anchors for the company. It kinda starts from there and trickles out to our wholesale accounts.

Now he and the Huf crew are onto the next thing that is right for their company, maybe not as much noise as a 100-person lineup for a Nike, but quietly making a mark through wholesale.
San Francisco is still alive and strong as ever, do not get it wrong. Why don't we look to our good man Mike Brown and TRUE for example, holding down the game forever and not going anywhere. Black Scale has brought a new element and light to SF. Benny Gold? An SF icon at this point. I personally long for the days in the City of Red Five, Rolo, and Recon. When those stores closed down, people said the same thing but then a new generation of brands (including ours) moved in and have carried on a tradition.
RIP to HUF in SF. But always looking forward to what the Bay has got up its sleeve, home of true cultural purveyors. So.. who's next???
Nice to see you make an appearance Bobby Hundreds.

They do work together only because you guys at TH do a great job at balancing both but majority of the new folks who open shop do so only because they think it's the cool thing to do. (they can always blame you when they failOriginally Posted by bobbytripledigits

I wonder if Collins (The Darkside Initiative) has anything to say about Huf SF closing down.
Anyway, I'm still waiting for your Paparazzi 2 entry. I need to replace my first one and I wanna know if it's worth dropping $124.
