The HUF and TOMBOGO PocketCam reimagines a nostalgic digital device as a vibrant, functional accessory for creatives. This collab edition features the familiar translucent build, now updated in bright neon green with exclusive HUF-branded accents and a pack of 15 new photo and video filters. The device maintains its playful utility, including an 8-megapixel camera, wide-angle lens, video mode, MP3 player, mini-games, and a memory-card-style user interface.
Designed for Gen Z’s love of content creation, the PocketCam fuses Y2K aesthetics with low-fi charm. The HUF edition also nods to founder Tommy Bogo’s childhood connection to HUF and skate culture, adding narrative to the drop. Its compact, pocketable form encourages spontaneous shooting, making it ideal for events, travel, or casual documentation. Releasing August 7 on TOMBOGO’s site and at select retailers, this edition blends design nostalgia with creative practicality in a fresh, collectible format.
