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...

GEORGE LOIS.

I am passionate about editorial design. I love paper. Every few years people say "print is dead", but it's proving pretty die hard. One of the visionaries. One of my heroes—George Lois. I recently went to check his retrospective out at the Moma. It's small, but definitely worth a visit. Very, very, VERY few magazines today have the balls to do covers like this. It's a shame...
エディトリアルデザインにはとても魅了されます。僕は書面が大好きです。数年に1回は、「Print(印刷物)is dead」という人がいるけど、今なおあるので不滅であることを証明してますよね。先駆者のひとりで僕のヒーロー:George Lois。最近僕は彼の回顧展をMOMAに見に行きました。こじんまりとしていたけれど、行く価値は絶対あります。こんな表紙を出す度胸のある雑誌は本当に、本当に、本当に少なくなりました。残念です。。。

Remember these Reebok ads? "Pump Up and Air Out."
(Oh, where for art thou, Michael Chang?)
Reebokの広告を覚えていますか?「Pump Up and Air Out.」
(Michael Changさん、今あなたは何処へ?)

Ever wonder what idiot thought of "I Want My MTV!"? Now you know...
"I Want My MTV!"の広告を考えた人が誰なのか思ったことがありますか?もうお分かりですよね。。。

don't mean to burst your bubble when quoting shakespeare, but when you say "where for art thou, Michael Chang?" I hope you mean to ask "Why are you Michael Chang" as would be the translation to modern english

Michael Chang lives in South Orange County, CA. I've seen him at a Sundobu restaurant wearing his own "Chang" branded Nikes which were pretty sweet old school tennis shoes.

It's crazy to see some of the cover's he did because they were done before the advent of desktop publishing software like quark or InDesign, or better yet software like Photoshop. This is the kind of work that shows that technology is just a tool that designers use and that great design is an aesthetic that needs to be reached with functional and creative problem solving.
