To Darrin Hudson: VIDEO HELL.

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...

VIDEO HELL.

Recently we had to creative direct a video shoot for a client of ours. This was one of the most stressful things I've had to do in my life. Especially as Creative Director; its important you act as the calm in the storm. Normally, if I'm stressed, I can release some of that but it's much harder when you have to bottle it all in. It got so bad, blood came pouring out of left eye. It was gross. That's when I had to wave the white flag and bounce.

The following day, the tables were turned on me and I was the subject of a video shoot. It was for the documentary Jordan Heads that is about to come out.

Yes, Satchel of Gravel (PKA, Don't Believe The Hypebeast) they asked me about sneakers again. I was recently blasted on this site (the US Weekly of Streetwear) about how I always talk about sneakers. I half agree with their commentary, but honestly, I can really only answer the questions that are posed to me. If someone asks me "What's your favorite sneaker of all time?"; I'm not gonna answer, "Let's talk about the election instead!"
