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...

PHOTOS NYC.

Photo evidence of my never ending love/hate relationship with New York City.
僕とニューヨークとの永遠の愛憎関係の写真証拠です。

What other city can you see a Chinese Napolean idling nervously in an unmarked van?
中国系ナポレオンが不振なバンで緊張しながらアイドリングしているのを見られる都市は他にもありますか?

Hard to say which came first. The sign or the offender. サイン:「これはバイクラックではありません。」 どっちが先だったのでしょう。サインかバイクか。

Art is pouring out all over the place here. アートがあらゆる場所から流れ出ている。

Looking for a place to live in this city? Forget credit rating, annual income and financial history...You now have to like the right bands and movies too!
ニューヨークで住むところを探している人はいますか?経済的な信用や年収、財政履歴は関係ない。。。今や好きなバンドと映画で評価されます!

That pixel art is so amazing, and it makes me mad that i didn't think of it.

Great pics, and great captions. The bike combo is my favorite.

A few other things. Chinatown's funeral lane has a street sign that says "Don't even THINK of parking here" and of course the lane's all parked up.

And I will say this here cause one it's semi relevant and two I don't know if you check old entries. I loved your Air Raid post. Great pics and great info. I saw the retros in store and quickly got a pair; the research I did beforehand led me to you. RELEVANCE: the MET has an exhibit called superheroes sponsored by giorgio armani. It's part costumes from superhero movies, part inspired fashion. And one of the mannequins are rocking Air Raids I've never seen before.

Plus today was Japan Day at central park, and the Israeli Day Parade, and I ran into everything except Japan Day.

How's that for New York? You know it all comes down to love.

I have seen you post about that lobster thing before. I guess it still haunts you at night.

You might already have heard this but your recent posts about NYC made me think of this song:

Spec Boogie - New York I Love You
