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...

PROPER LAX.

It was about time. I needed to desperately get out of NYC for a little bit. So I took advantage of the Passover/Easter holidays (I celebrate neither) to get out of town and head to LA for a few days. Cali is Utopia. Some ask why I don't relocate there. It's simple: I ain't ready for Utopia yet.


The "LA Skyline". Its actully a sky. Unlike NYC which is now just billboards and condos.




To all my LA homies...I apologize for not reaching out. I just needed to chill in LBC and I couldn't deal with being in a car for than 15 minutes at a time. I did find time to swing thru Proper. One of the best sneaker spots in the country..bar none. Run by my man, Rob. He hooked me up with this buttery pair of Rod Laver Adi's. My girl told me I've been rocking a lot of "old man shoes" recently, like these. Well, that may very well be because I AM OLD. Anyway...I'm feelin these. The lack of the 3 stripes is a brave touch that should be commended. Kudos Germany.

Just for the record or at least I hope, I do not think Lavars ever had 3 stripes or even like smiths had three lines of holes. I have a pair from way back when and it has no stripes

Word. Lavers had the all mesh sides.

Totally Random Note: I heard that Nick Cannon "mr. hilllarious" bought the PNB line?!?!? I'm interested to hear your point of view on that Jeff.
