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...

IMPRINT.

If you're gonna be in the great Los Angeles area this week, I invite you to come check out IMPRINT CULTURE LAB. Its a design conference of sorts with an extremely interesting mix of individuals. My friend Eric Nakamura of Giant Robot is running the show. Pre-Conference stuff begins the 12th.
September 13th is when the real festivities begin. I've got a busy day ahead of me. First there is a forum about Blog culture which will include Josh Spear as moderator. Other panelists are Danny Choo, President of Mirai Inc, Brian Lam, Editor of Gizmodo and Ron Heppler from WeeklyDrop.
From there I go right into a forum on Street Fashion. I'll be joined by Eric Nakamura (moderating), Alyasha from FiberOps, Bobby Hundreds from The Hundreds, and Jennifer Yu from New Era. And from there, I wrap up with a one-on-one interview with John Jay and myself. I don't even know what that one is all about! But it's an hour and five minutes long so I better start thinking of something to say...
The other panels look really interesting also...I wish I could check some of them out. Anyway...see you in LA!

Have you seen Chris Brown's new video? This is what perplexes me about the fashion industry. How is Chris Brown rocking the new Staple Fall 07 Varsity Pigeon Jacket in his video before I even have it for myself!? Dammit...I always get shafted. Well, enjoy the video. This kid can cut a rug.

I would love to see these type of conferences in Hawaii. It's a win win situation. Great weather and great speakers.

Blog is a great read, but we have forgotten Darrin Hudson and the method to this madness...ring on the shoes (especially the woven threads!)

Wow that really shows how much power celebrities have. Get stuff before their designer even gets it ;P
