To Darrin Hudson: KID + PLAY(FORD).

About Me

Name: jeffstaple

Location: New York, New York, United States

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...

KID + PLAY(FORD).

I finally had the pleasure tonight of meeting Ewan from Playford Equipment and Okazawa from CLS/Honeyee. Ewan is a charismatic halfie and he was mad cool. We know lots of people in common and actually met 10 years ago on one of my first trips to Japan. We've both come a long way. Okazawa is a deep, serious dude. Keep a look out on some stuff they are working with Levi's on. Big thanks to Mike for making the introductions...

Oh and check out Okazawa's phone. In case we Americans thought for one second we had some dope cell phone technology coming out...this should shut y'all up. Vodaphone's new cable TV/phone joint...complete with SWIVELING WIDE SCREEN ratio aspect and SUPER ill clarity. It even has a little antennae. We can't even watch live TV on our phones yet. They are already on friggin' HD.

Speaking of tech, I went to the Apple store today to pick a new pair of headphones to replace the stock iPod ones. I heard they actually damage your ears because they are so shitty, you end up having to max out the volume on ur ipod, which can damage your eardrums. Ironically, more powerful headphones are better for your hearing. I intended to get some $50 joints but then the sales girl, Waka convinced to get these Ultimate Ears headphones for $250!! Bananas..but they are so f-ing worth it, you will never go back after using them. I highly recommend em.
