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...

IT'S THE SHOES (& FITTED'S).

I had the pleasure of meeting Kevin the other day, the Producer of ESPN's television series, "It's The Shoes". For you sneaker new jacks...let me school you on the importance of that show. Hosted by Bobbito, on ESPN, a major cable television network, and into Season 3 now...People, this is simply a show about sneakers! My how far the culture has come. Well when I was a kid; collecting shoes....(OK, I'll stop right there before I get too Grandpa on everyone) Kevin and Co. manages to make every show enjoyable, entertaining and informative all at the same time. Really looking forward to the upcoming episodes!
Later that day, I met up with the good people (Matty and Jeff) from New Era. The company responsible for the economic demise of shampoo; since every Tom, Dick and Harry from here to Okinawa rocks a New Era Fitted every day of their lives. Good things to come shortly from our camps.

Should we be expecting Staple New Era's sometime in the future? Hope so, everybody else in the neighborhood already got their own.
