To Darrin Hudson: AF25: BEIJING EDITION.

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...

AF25: BEIJING EDITION.

So I decided at the last minute to hop over to Hong Kong and attend the AF25 event over there. But BJ was great. Had a blast here chillin with old friends, meeting new ones, and partying it up in homage to the AF1 and the new 706 Space Nike acquired in BJ. This massive massive space is just amazing. The potential for what can be done here is limitless. That's kind of the vibe overall here in BJ. It's like the Wild West...anything can and will happen. Seems like if they just had a little more pointed direction, shit could REALLY start popping off here.

Can anyone say: "over the top"?

What is love? Love is this dude...dropping $1300 for a pair of Pigeon Dunks. Then bringing them in their box...in a shopping bag...to a launch event like this...hunting me down; so that I might sign them! The passion exists the world over. Its almost too crazy for me to even comprehend.

Random flashbacks...

If you're ever at a Chinese restaurant and there's a huge lazy susan on the table, try this cool trick. Place your digital camera tilited sightly upwards and start the movie film mode. Then take her for a spin. You'll get a nice image of all your dinner guests. The more the merrier in this case.
How many faces can you ID?
