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...

4 DAYS OFF.

Took the past 4 days off. Apologies... Trying to recuperate my brain before boucing out of town next week. Need energy for that shit ya know...
But I did manage to make myself productive over the weekend:



Table Tennis training. Hardcore. Preparing for the summer. Big things to come this summer.
Check out this kid in the photo. He is like 8 years old and KILLIN it! Like a phenom for reals. He lost a big point and walked over to his pops who smacked the kid across the face HARD! That is some badass Asian parenting right there. We don't fuck around. But the kid held back the obvious tears and wooped dude's ass the next point. Puma sent me these amazing TT SUPERs. Especially made for the sport. Perfect for Table Tennis. Perfect for stylin.


Taught a short intensive Design and Presentation class at New York University over the weekend. Sat and Sun. 9am-5pm. (Ouch! Those are some rough hours.) But it was fun. I love teachin. Looking forward to more classes this summer.
Bill Spector of SMAC/Spoonfed also dropped by the lab to talk a lil shop. Very nice and humble guy. I like dude's who make funny faces when they are photographed. Bobbito does this all the time, too.


Went to check out David Blaine real late on Sat night and managed to get THIS close. It was a mob seen. Pretty amazing. I admire what the guy does and his philosophy behind all his stunts. It shows that mind can really overcome matter.


Someone emailed me a photo of a miltary truck in Baghdad with a Staple Pigeon sticker stuck on the side! Worldwide, worldwide!


Kartell was wrapping up a big sale on their furniture so I decided to head over and scoop up some Dolly chairs which is the official chair of the Staple Table Tennis/Rec Center. And of course who do I see? Mr. Aron The Don himself; gettin his Martha Stewart on. Next time you go to the ANYTHING store, ask to use the bathroom, to check out his Kartell pickups.

I'm happy that you enjoyed the picture of the pigeon and am even happier that I could contribute something to a site that I check daily...
