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...

PT3: ROUND III

Back in '06, when myself, Tyler from Rude and Puma sat down to concieve of a tables tennis get together; we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. After all, who knew there were so many damn nerds in Manhattan? Well, this Spring, Puma is stepping up their commitment to the game. For the third installment of PT3 (Puma Table Tennis Tournament); we grow the brackets out to 32 teams. As always, the players consist of NYC's creative underground featuring the likes of Formavision, Syrup, Psyop, Rude, 2x4, Flavorpill, Truth & Soul Records, Beautiful Losers, Comedy Central, Plus et Plus, Theme Magazine, Fat Beats, Turntable Lab, LTD Mag, Rockstar Games, Vice Mag, Complex Mag, XLR8R Mag and more.
In addition, they have produced this limited edition set of balls and paddles with Johan Liden from aruliden—a very dope product design shop based in NYC. The set is dubbed the PT3 ULTRAMAGNETIC COLLECTION (due to the sick magnetic closure system of these joints).
This weekends festivites kicks off Saturday 28th at 12 noon.
Venue: NYTTF 384 Broadway @ White Street.
Supported by: Vitamin Water and Tiger Beer.
