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...

MADRID.

MADRIDSITES.jpg

After I spent a week in Barcelona for work, I decided to take the rest of the weekend and hop over to Madrid for a few days. I never been to the city and I've heard mixed reviews. Mostly negative reviews from my Barcelona-based friends...(there seems to be some NY-LA-type beef there). But after a weekend in the city, I found it be beautiful and in many ways, more pleasant and enjoyable than Barcelona. But I'm always in BCN for work, so maybe it's not a fair comparison.
一週間仕事でバルセロナに滞在した後、週末2,3日マドリードに飛ぶことにしました。実はマドリードに行くのは初めてで、マチマチの評判を聞いていました。バルセロナ在住の友人たちからは悪い評判ばかり(なんだか、NY対LAビーフと似たものがあるらしい)。でも、週末過ごしてみて、バルセロナより楽しく満喫できたような気がします。バルセロナはいつも仕事関係でいくから、比べちゃいけないかもしれないですけど

Best hot chocolate and churros in the world? Right here. Google it.
世界一のホットココアとチュロスはどこだ?ここだ!ググって見てください。

I thought this was interesting. The only known statue of Satan in Europe and possibly the world. I thought it was gonna be much more demonic. But the base of it is pretty ill.
これはおもしろいです。ヨーロッパ、そして、たぶん世界で唯一のサタン像。もっと邪悪な像だと想像していました。ベース部分は結構カッコイイです。

I thought Supreme opened a store in Madrid when I saw this. But I asked James to confirm and it's a completely fake Supreme/Union store! I've seen bootleg clothes...but a whole shop? That's craziness. Next time you're in Madrid, go in there and tell them how wack they are.
これを見たときマドリードにSupremeがオープンしたかと思いました。でも、ジェームズに確認したら、これはまったくのニセSupreme/Unionストアだったのです!ブートレッグの洋服は見たことあるけど、丸ごと店をパクるか?
オカシイです。今度皆さんがマドリードに行かれた時は、ここに行って奴らにどれだけイケてないか言ってやってください。

I was also very suprised when I found this store last september.

But they have no Supreme clothes at all! They have some Wood Wood, streetwearwise. then fred perry I think.

communication with the guy in the store was not easy, but I think he wanted to say that they had exactly this supreme logo before the ny guys had it.... hahah...

whatever

but no fake clothing there I think

It's actually a bank and that's just how you spell Sub-prime in Es-pag-nol. It's closed because it's Sunday. You were there on Sunday, right?
