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...

AIR LAG.



Jet lag is a bitch. Came back from Tokyo and I'm still recovering. My hours are all f'ed up. And of course it doesn't help to return to a mountain of mail, packages, emails, messages, et al...but like I said, that's what vacations are for right? Pssshhh. One good package that actually came was from JL at Nike. He hooked me up lovely with 3 kicks from the Air Max series. The Tier Zero Air Max 360 in the gray/black wool and 2 of the "pantone" series. The Air Max 1 and the 97. Good lookin' J! I really like the new box on the 360 but to be honest, I think Nike needs to tone it down with all the special make up boxes. It's too much, and it makes it too easy for bootleggers. Kids can't even decipher what's real or not because Nike makes so many damn boxes we can't keep up. I like the days of those cardboard kraft and black/orange box days. It was simple and consistent. Anyway, just my 2 cents...

Jeff, I don't know if this counts as one of your 'collection' posts, but I got dibs on those Air Max 1s. Nice!
