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...

SHAG & LUC.



Back to Japan today. We are premiering the Staple Spring 2007 collection to Japan this week. And also putting the finishing touches on what will be Reed Space's expansion into Tokyo. Yup...something I've been wanting for a long time now, Mr. Reed repping in the Land of The Rising Sun. September 15th...make your way to Tokyo. I promise y'all it'll be worth it.
So I didn't have to handcuff or knockout any knuckleheads on the flight this time. But I did have the pleasure of sitting with Shaggy and Luciano. Say what you will about their music, but the two dudes and their entourgage could not have been better gentlemen. Real down to earth cool people. They'll be perfoming in Yokohama, and Blue Note in Osaka and Nagoya. Wish I could catch that Blue Note show. Less than 100 people...really intimate. Luciano in that environment must be amazing.
