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...

PARSONS.

Last year I taught Design courses at Parsons School of Design. This year, I did a little NYU, but couldn't commit to Parsons due to my stoopid schedule. It sucks too cuz one thing I really enjoyed doing was teaching. Nothing gives me more pleasure than to rip some kids work off the wall, stomp it into the ground and make him go crying back to mommy. I kid!
But to make up for it, Parsons is having me do a series of guest lectures for incoming students. Its almost equally satisfying and much less of a committment. Here is the view from this past week's session. I actually got the whole crowd to wave for the camera. haha...


Let's see...what else. Oh yeah, Eric N. from Giant Robot (the magazine and stores) dropped by for a little Q+A. If all goes well, you'll soon see a story gracing the pages of his fine publication.


Check out this box set Gavin from Nike sent to me. This Joga World Cup campaign seems to not have an end. I don't think Nike will be satisfied until every kid in america is playing soccer by the end of the summer. Regardless, the shit they are making for Joga have been dope so far.


And finally got to catch up with my homegirl and ex-staffer, Mandy L. She leaves NY to return to HK this summer. Good luck Mandy!

YOU are my DARRIN HUDSON! If I got to pick ONE person that I would like to switch life with, that person is you without a doubt.

I just had to get that out..

Other than that I agree with Anonymous, how could they leave Sweden out of the Joga-kit.

yea and I was lucky enough to be in that promotional design class at parsons when you came in for gillian avertick last week, I was that guy who came in late with the 'i am parsons party' idea that had a rainbow of a theme, and asked what kind of job a designer should look for (duh). wow I had no idea who you were, had I known I would have asked for some free kicks or an autograph (too much? yea I'll just stick to the free kicks) or something haha. you have yourself a fan.
