To Darrin Hudson: STPL x MAS

About Me

Name: jeffstaple

Location: New York, New York, United States

I think everyone had a "Darrin Hudson" in their lives. Darrin Hudson was in my high school, back in Marlboro, NJ. You know, that person that you had to one-up all the time. Didn't matter what it was: Gear, hair, grades, sports, whatever...it was ON. Well for Darrin and I...it was kicks. Plain and simple. Oddly enough, in a school with over 1000 kids, me and him were the only 2 really into sneakers back then. This is my blog dedicated to Darrin. This is to tell Darrin that I'm still out there, and if he wants to battle, here it is son!! Bring it!! I've since lost touch with Darrin, but thanks to him, you all get to check out the kicks I have amassed over the years. So it is here, that I will archive every pair of shoes I own. It’ll include detailed photos, a grading system, a little tidbit behind each one and every single one will be available for purchase. (Simply POST A COMMENT with your offer). Some other little goodies sprinkled throughout also. Even if I updated a different shoe every week, it would take me about 3 years to complete this project. So sit back and enjoy! The project begins January 1st, 2006...

STPL x MAS

Last couple of years, the Staple Holiday Party was a pretty big shindig. In '03 we rented out Nike's 255 Elizabeth Space for our soul food themed party. In '04, we rented out Apizz, our favorite Italian spot in all of NYC. This year, I decided to make it a more private affair... I invited the Staple Crew and their beloved to a Brazilian meat-explosion. The location: Plataforma Tribeca. Even though I made reservations, we were seated 30 minutes late, but it was well worth it. I think we ate 7 cows, 4 pigs, 3 lambs and 2 chickens worth of meat. Not to mention the shrimp cocktail! It was great to reward my team with a hearty year-end meal. They deserved it...
