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...

[CO]+LAB.




A few weeks back, I mentioned that Staple Design did a nice little t-shirt collaboration with Nike as part of their [co]+lab series. (Which I believe is only available in their Asia-Pacific market). Anyway, it took a while to get these shot, but here they are. I am very happy with the results. The theme was Winter Olympic Sport. We decided to focus on the 13th Winter Olympics of Sapporo, Japan which was the first one to use artificial snow making (hence the left design). The other design was inspired by the Lake Placid, NY Olympics and the historic USA Hockey Team defeating the heavily favored CCCP team. Any sports fan will remember that famous line uttered after the win. If you look closely, you might be able to make it out in the graphic design. Both shirts came packaged in their own individual Tyvek Zippered Packs which came out DOPE. We also executed the graphics on those as well. The label on each garment was also a nice touch. Included in each pack was also a perforated postcard set that gave a brief description of what Staple Design is all about. All in all, a very cool set to have. Thank you to the two ST's who made this happen at Nike AP. Y'all know who you are...

I found that quote on Wikipedia, regarding the USA vs CCCP game.

I really like the shirt design. It's like one of those 3D Stereograms. I had to look at it a few times before I saw it.
