To Darrin Hudson

The Complete Works of jeffstaple.

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...

ALMOST BETTER...

...than the real thing.

My man Allen from AKA recently relaunched twelve ounce prophet.com and its def worth checking out. His collection of bloggers is the best I've seen since...well...you know. Good design, good content, good peeps. When you see heads like Bianca, Chino, Dash, Lern, Greg Lamarche, Grotesk, Jamil, Ket, KR, Mare 139, Todd James, 123Klan, Cody Hudson, West and more...only two words come to mind: STRAIGHT OG's.
