To Darrin Hudson: ALIST SHOW @ REED.

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...

ALIST SHOW @ REED.

Tonight is a special night. We will be having the first art opening of the year for Reed Space. It feels like it's been a long time coming. I met Allister Lee in London a few years ago, literally while he was working at the sneaker shop Size?. We connected a bit, broke some bread and he showed me around town and we just kept in touch. He told me about his art but it wasn't till a few years later that the stuff he showed was REALLY progressive. Some people ask me how we choose artists for Reed Space. It's pretty simple. I call it the "jaw drop" factor. If I look and my jaw drops...it's a wrap. The Chinatown World Tour concept did exactly that. It's really difficult to describe verbally how good it is. You should really come down to check it out. Well worth the trip. Doors open at 9pm. It'll be up for about 3 weeks.
