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...

PIMPIN.


I can't explain it but no matter how long I've been in this game (coming up on a decade!); I never get used to the idea of seeing people rock Staple. It's such a dope feeling to know that something you had a hand in creating, is being repped by complete strangers. You get extra gold star points when that person is someone you also respect. So when we heard that Xzibit will be wearing a Staple tee in an upcoming episode of Pimp My Ride, we were definitely amped. Props to X-to-the-Z.


I also just wrapped up a phone interview with the guys over at Weekly Drop. It went pretty good. But anyone who knows me well will tell you that I am absolutely, unequivacally, the WORST phone person EVER. To be honest, I just don't like talking on the phone. I much prefer in-person meetings. So to do a phone interview was bad news for me. Well, you guys can be the judge when it hits in the coming weeks. But regardless, thanks to Rob and Jeff for making that happen. It was an honor. I hope I come off as "blazin" as Lupe. Not.

I always like that tee, does staple tees run to 2xl? I am a big dude and too many streetwear lines stay with the smedium tees. On the flipside I hate the nightgown tees from so called "urban brands". If XZIBIT can rock it I am sure they can fit me. Also I love weeklydrop, look forward to hearing the interview. Is souris a stylist?
