To Darrin Hudson: A NICE SET.

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...

A NICE SET.

About 3 years ago, long time friend and talented creative dude, Jeremy Hollister (Plus Et Plus) sat me down and pitched an amazing yet simple idea. "Artwork on slipmats." Most artists and creative people I know are so inspired by music. Why not use the music as the canvas for their art? 3 Years later, we bring you: A NICE SET.
We choose 33 artists.
We give them slipmats.
They craft their trade on said slipmats.
They give back to us. We shoot beautifully. IDN makes dope book.
We make duplicates of the slipmats so even bedroom DJs can make their 1200s look nicer.
And then we show off what we did!
The traveling exhibition begins at this spot I found called Reed Space Japan.
The opening night is next Friday 2/2/07. If you're in the neighborhood, stop by and check it out.
