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...

APPLE GINZA.

The Apple Shibuya lecture was really cool. Lots of people came out to represent. In case you missed that one, I'll be doing another one today at Apple Ginza in their theater. I think this is the biggest Apple store and theater in the world so it should be pretty craze.

Just trying to decompress from the nutiness of the past week...

Had a chill Indian dinner with Hiroshi, Fraser (Nike), James, Ken & Gio (Supreme) and Hiroki (Visvim). Fraser broke out the AJ1s in "fresh out the box" condition. These are truly timeless....

I just got back from Jeff's presentation at the Ginza Apple Store. Jeff gave some great advice on being an artist as well as a person:

1. Treat everyone as an equal.

It doesn't matter what job title a person holds, there is always an opportunity to benefit by meeting new people.

2. Don't try to please everyone with your art.

Make decisions on what you feel is the right thing to do.

I have always felt great artists truly give inspiration to the masses. I for one, was so excited that I could not sit down on the train ride home from Ginza.

Thanks for the great advice and the total inspiration!

Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu!

Peace,

Scott Novosel
