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...

INSATIABLY HIP.


New Yorkers are a funny breed. No matter what. Thru rain, sleet, snow, nuclear winter, whatever....we simply MUST be hip at all times! Check out how much snow fell. In fact, it was a new city record. 25-some odd inches in one night. So on my journey out to get some food, I came across the most unprepared mofo's I have ever seen. Women in boots and windbreakers. Check this dude out. Seven Jeans, Quickstrike Air Force 1s and a Chrome Hearts chain for his wallet. Really? Are you serious? It's 10° below, 25" of snow just fell, and you ain't got one pair of Timberlands in your whole closet!? Not even a North Face man?! Check this other one out. He took plastic bags and packing tape to cover his Vans to create a Goretex-like membrane. NOT! Dude...packing tape?

Some cats are too cool for school, put on an old coat, beat boots and leave the hipness for another day. The only thing good about the snow is my Akita gets to play in it.
