To Darrin Hudson: MOO.

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...

MOO.

Mary, Mary...why ya buggin? Mary gives Nico a little head massage...and as with most people...is obsessed with the new Staple Spring 2007 catalog.

Meet Mary. If Mary lived in China, she would be working in a sweatshop banging out 1,000 pairs of kicks per day. But rather, she chose to live in NYC...and instead, bangs out countless of magazines. She currently occupies hi-posts at XXL, Mass Appeal and the soon to be released Missbehave Mag. She's also done time at EgoTrip. A master of the English and Cantonese languages (and hell, maybe Korean too?) she is definitely one of the smartest cookies I know.

Thanks to JU for hooking me up with this PSG France football jersey. Very dope LV-esque colorway with monogram as well.

I think Levi's opens a new US Flagship store this weekend in Union Square. If you're in the area, check out the art installtion by my friend Yukari Kono. She has some really incredible works of art and Levi's contracted her to do these dope pieces. They're both beautifully executed and they represent the brand well. Job well done...

And finally, we just wrapped up the PT3 Singles tournament. I finished in the Quarter Finals...but it was pretty awesome. When we gather all the photos, I'll do a proper post, but for now...here are the final standings. Congrats to Miles at Psyop for pulling off the victory.
