To Darrin Hudson: A MERRY STAPLE.

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...

A MERRY STAPLE.

'Tis the season for company holiday gatherings. I vary year to year on how I want Staple to celebrate the season and ring in the new year. Sometimes, its something big. But this year, I wanted to keep it intimate and fairly chill. We had a staff only dinner at our favorite neighborhood spot, Apizz, and it was just good food, good drink and good times. This was followed up with our holiday party at APT. This turned out to be an awesome night that went WAY later than it should have. But I guess that's a good thing. Keep your eyes on MFT for some photos.

I also got some nice gifts recently.

Thanks to the Nike NYC team for sending me the new-ish Nike Amp Watch. It's a technological marvel. Mark Parker showed me a prototype about a year and half ago and I was amazed back then. It's a watch and a bluetooth remote for your iPod Nano and it hooks up with Nike+ as well. The coolest part is that when its off, it just looks like a rubber bracelet on your wrist.

Oddly enough, I never wear watches, but I got another watch from Casio as well. It's your standard fare G-Shock but the white perforated leather strap makes this a special item to wear. I get so many comments from it. Thanks Casio and Exposure Team.

Also thanks to the Ghostly Team for giving me this nice little Moss-designed USB stick with some dope tracks on it. In case you can't get the USB Stick, you should still get the music. So here's a tracklist.

+++++++++++++

Lastly...Thanks to everyone who made 2007 a great year for Staple, Reed Space and me personally. Y'all know who you are. I want to wish everyone out there a great holiday and an even better 2008. Peace.
