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...

STONE IS.

While it's pretty popular in Europe, STONE ISLAND is consistently one of the most slept on brands in the US. It was started in 1982 by Massimo Osti, founder of C.P Company. The brand always comes with next level fabrication and performance protection. I recently visited their showroom and checked out the new collection with Ras and Michael. I saw some pretty sick stuff including a special range called "The Shadow Collection" designed by none other than my man Errolson from Acronym in Berlin. Combining Stone Island and Errolson is a match made in heaven. Be on the lookout for what's to come.
ヨーロッパではかなり人気のブランドではあるものの、STONE ISLANDはアメリカではいつも見過ごされています。1982年にC.P Companyの創設者、Massimo Ostiが設立しました。このブランドの仕立てとパフォーマンス保護のレベルはいつも最先端です。先日彼らのショールームにRasとMichaelを訪ねて新しいコレクションを拝見しました。すごくカッコ良くてその中でも特に特別なコレクションで、僕の仲のいい友人でベルリンにいる、AcronymのErrolsonがデザインした「The Shadow Collection」が良かったです。Stone IslandとErrolsonのコンビは夢の取り合わせです。これから何が生まれるか要チェックです。
