To Darrin Hudson: ADIDAS TORSION SP LO

About Me

Name: jeffstaple

Location: New York, New York, United States

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...

OTHER COMMENTS: Adidas never came out with many technological wonders that impressed me, but the one piece that always stood out to me was the Torsion. Essentially a yellow plastic that was embedded in the outsole..supposed to provide stability, resistance and hence, tourque. Hey, it made sense when i was 16. Anyway, this Torsion Special I picked up in HK is a great combination of water resistance in an ACG-ish like styling. The Torsion technology. And some hot ass colors. Too bad Adidas in general, feel like SHIT on my feet! I don't know why? I wish i could rock these all the time but I can't...it's too painful. Regardless, beautiful piece of product design.
