To Darrin Hudson: SUITMAN.

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...

SUITMAN.

By some random happenstance, I met up with Young Kim this afternoon for lunch and some possible projects down the road. Young Kim is one f'in multi-talented asian bro. He currently calls Japan home but also has bases in HK, NYC and LA. He once had to be admitted to a hospital in Japan and the doctors wouldn't touch him simply because of his tattoos. Hence, Japan is not at the top of his list. When similar minds connect, it's kind of cool cuz even though we only met for like 2 hours, we raced thru topics of conversation as if we were hangin for a week. It was good to catch up with him. He hit me off with his new book and DVD project which I'm looking forward to checking out. YOU should check out his shit at Suitman.org.
