To Darrin Hudson: DAY B4 GERMANY.

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...

DAY B4 GERMANY.

Just one day till I head out to Berlin and Bread and Butter.
Bread and Butter is basically a fashion tradeshow. A fashion tradeshow is basically where clothing companies go to pimp their wears. The big one in America is MAGIC and ASR (for action sports.) And the big boy in Europe is Bread and Butter. First time for Staple so it should be at the very least educational if not profitable (hopefully).

Just had a quick meeting with my man Dao-Yi of Arrive Miami to discuss some future upcoming projects. Crazy cuz Dao and I have known each other for over 10 years now. Known before "jeffstaple" was born and I was simply Jeff Ng. We were hocking sporting goods equipment at Paragon while both of us were attending NYU. We've always kept somewhat in touch over the years and I've been keeping one eye on his successes over the past decade. From Bobbito's Footwork, to some modeling, to Mecca, to Sean John, to Arrive, to Lock & Key...the man has been making moves every since. Great to be working together again. This time, without asking people what size their feet are.
