To Darrin Hudson: SATURDAY: JUDGEMENT DAY

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...

SATURDAY: JUDGEMENT DAY

Cut & Paste (a shot from last year's competition)

Last year, I was one of the guest judges for CUT & PASTE. A pretty cool concept where designers battle each other in live spontaneous challenges. Imagine a DJ Battle, but instead of DJs, its designers. Last year was the first one ever and to be honest, I thought it was going to be a geekfest (which is fine by me since I prefer the company of geeks.) But it actually was a pretty damn cool event with a bananas turnout of over 2000 people and the line going around the block. This year, cuz of the overwhelming response, they moved it into the Brooklyn Sugar Factory (formerly Domino Factory). That's almost worth the trip alone..just being able to enter that Brooklyn landmark. So come out and watch me mow down some designer's self-esteem. Bring rotten tomatoes.
