To Darrin Hudson: 5950 TIMBS.

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...

5950 TIMBS.

Got 2 massive boxes from Timberland this week.
The first was (finally) the Staple x Timberlands that will drop in Feb I think as part of the 5 Boros Project along with RZA, Chris Mendoza, Skwerm and Atsuko Tanaka. If you dare, cut away the wool plaid sweater and see a secret surprise. (Editor's Note: Staple is not responsible for the design of the packaging. I would have simply preferred a simple carboard box!)

The other box was this dope New Era x Timberland collab. Timbs and a Fitted: What more could a downtown cool kid want?

There's a shoe box. And then there's this! I put the scissors in there so you can see the scale of this behemoth. It has locks and a handle for carrying...cuz it HAS to.

The interior. Sherpa lined. Complete with a mirror for making sure ur 5950 is at the perfect angle.

Butter soft leather Timbs and 5950. Both are fur lined. A very dope collab.

The tongue has an emboss that says 034/100. So I'm not sure what distriution will be on these. But at 100 pairs, it ain't gonna be everywhere.
