To Darrin Hudson: HYSTERICS.

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...

HYSTERICS.

One of the more progressive Japanese brands in the past few years has been Hysteric Glamour. I always liked them cuz they did things there own way. And their mens collection-HG, does some cool pieces here and there. Tonight they had a opening party for their new Roppongi Hills location. One thing about these guys...they fucking know how to throw down. This party was crazy and proof again, that I am getting too old for this shit. I met up with some Nike heads there and it was an adventure from there on out.

Ladies of the night.

We spent ¥4000 in a cab going to a bar about 1 mile away from where we were. Frasier was acting as translator, navigator and negotiator all at the same time. This photo pretty much sums his frustration with our white-gloved friend.

While this may look like all fun and games... we are actually discussing the deeper levels of sneaker consciousness in today's youth market. It's hard work people. Oka from Medicom even stopped thru to discuss the finer points of...um..well, beer. P.S.: Jesse isn't sleeping in this photo. He's just about to let out a really really big sneeze.
