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...

TT ACTION.





Today is what we in the office call, "SB Day." It's that special time of the year when Nike invites the coveted SB Authorized Dealers to come and preview the new season...in this case, Holiday 2006. Kids, I wish I could. You know I would if I could, but I can't. This is as much as I can do.
Not that it's any sort of consolation, but here is a good shot of the upcoming Lebrons. Very different departure from what we've been seeing but pretty dope nonetheless. This bitch weighs a ton though. It must be like playing ball with lead weights on your ankles. You might think that's a Free sole, but it's not. There's like some kind of carbon fiber shank under the outsole...you know, in case you have to play ball on a mine field or something...

Later that evening, Rockstar Games invited the Staple Crew to check out their new upcoming game, Table Tennis. (What did I say about table tennis??) They really took it to the next level. They rented out this dope ass loft in the middle of Chinatown. Set up 3 huge flat screens and X-Box 360s and by invitation only, they let people come up and preview the game. Food and drinks were served throughout the evening. Each night, they have mini touney's that lead up to a major one in the summer. This game is next level. The physics is amazing. Especially when you use the Brazilian chick...and see her, um...form.
