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...

LE MAIL.

Got some cool items sent to me recently.
Gabe Urist (aka The Sneaker Jeweler) and Trust Nobody (the dopest store in Barcelona) collaborated (somehow) and did a t-shirt on Nike's tab. Nice packaging. Wish there was actually jewelry in it tho. Then, I got a tube that contained this poster which was actually an invitation. But each invitation was hand signed and numbered 1-500. It's for a SCION party in Miami featuring Masters At Work and Jazzy Jeff amongst others. I just found it interesting that now even party invites are "limited edition", "signed and numbered". God, how I long for the days of sweatshops and mass industrialization.

glad you liked the shirt.
The box was designed by FREAKLÜB and was given for free (limited to 125) at the Gabriel Urist expo, we did at our art gallery and it was a total succes and you got the last shirt. Gabriel was invited and we all had a blast time.
