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: They're all real. It's pretty interesting when you can't tell the difference between what sounds real and what sounds like a joke.
A. すべて本物です。本当か冗談か区別が付かないところが面白いですね。

A collaboration I just saw that IS real AND dope is Burton x Carhartt. Really dope jackets coming this summer from the workwear and snowboarding giants. I just came back from a quick one day visit to Burlington, VT; home of Burton's World HQ. Rumors have been swirling around for a while now, but I can safely announce that Staple has been working on Burton's iDiom Collection for the past year. We've been hard at work, crafting the 2009 Collection with Hiroshi and Fragment Design. It's really the best of both worlds...NYC + TOKYO...mixed with a love of snowboarding that both Hiroshi and I share. You can check his blog and see sneak previews of some of the styles. Now we're knee deep on iDiom 2010. Hope everyone likes what we come up with. It ain't easy being GREEN.
つい先日見たホンモノでヤバいコラボがバートンx カーハート。スノーボード界とワークウェア界の大物たちが、今年の夏に出すカッコイイジャケットに要注目です。実は、バートンの世界本部があるバーモント州のバーリントンから帰ってきたばかりなのです。かれこれうわさは出ていましたが、昨年ステイプルはバートンのiDiom Collection に携わっている事をやっとみんなに発表できます。藤原ヒロシ氏率いるフラグメント・デザインとともに2009年コレクションを一生懸命作り上げました。まさに、ヒロシ氏と僕が大好きなスノーボーに加えて、ニューヨーク+東京の両方のいいトコ取りです。ヒロシ氏のブログ でチェックしてみて下さい。もうすでにiDiom 2010に取り掛かっている真っ最中です。皆さんに喜んでいただけるようにがんばります。GREENでいる事は大変です。
