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...

BARCELONA PT. II

I found some photos on my camera from Barcelona that I didn't share before. Some last remaining memories of Barcelona...
バルセロナからの写真が残っていたから紹介します。

Thanks to Tetsuya from New Balance for bringing me some souvenirs from Japan. It's been a minute since I've been to Japan...Nothing like limited edition Kit Kats and Pigeon Cookie Keychains to bring me back.
日本のお土産を持ってきてくれたNew Balanceの哲也氏に感謝です。
ついさっき日本にいた気がするけど。。。
限定物のキットカットとハトサブレーのキ−チェーンは日本のことを思い出させてくれます。

One of the things I always look forward to at Bread and Butter, is Yoske Nishiumi's visit. He always cooks up some new creation for the big event, and it's usually in conjunction with Asics. This year was no different. Instead of actual sneakers, he created a cool sculpture of his signature koi fish transforming into a pair of kicks. The packaging and execution on this is dope. You should read up on Yoske here.
Bread and Butterでいつも楽しみなのは西海洋介氏と会うことです。
毎回このイベントのために新しいクリエーションを披露してくれます。
それも、多くの場合はAsicsとの接点があって、今年も例外ではありません。
実物のスニーカーを作る代わりに鯉が徐々にキックスに変身するスカルプチャーを持ってきていました。
パッケージングもできばえもヤバイです!洋介についてもっと知りたい人はこちらでどうぞ。

In my opinion, the master of sneaker customization right now is NashMoney. He had an exhibition with Trust Nobody and he brought of his newest creations by our booth. He got nasty with an Air Max 97 and a Visvim FBT. So dope with the execution. This guy is really killin the game! I don't know why a footwear company hasn't scooped him up yet.
俺が考える中で今スニーカーのカスタマイズする人たちで一番アツイのがNashMoney。 
Trust Nobodyとの展示会をしていて、俺たちのブースに彼が最新作を持ってきてくれました。
とにかくカッコイイ!He's killin' the game!
どのスニーカーのメーカーさんもなぜ未だに彼を引き抜いていないのかが分からないくらいです。
