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...

MEMORIES.

Do you remember the days when you didn't care when a shoe was released.
Or how many pieces were made.
Or where you had to line up to buy it.
You just bought them and rocked them with pride because of what they looked like.
Because of what they meant.
Because of everything they represented.
I had forgotten that feeling, but I was just reminded.

Words right out of my mouth! Can't wait till my pair arrives! I remember buying the black ones in 94 in Paris. Man did I go crazy that day!

The quality of the new retros are horrible. I was only 10 in 94', but i picked them up in 01' with ease. Seriously though, how sweet does the Nike logo look on the back of a pair of Jordans? I was also able to go back weeks later to pick up the true blues. It's crazy how simply picking up a pair of sneakers has changed in 6 years.
