To Darrin Hudson: DIGGIN' THRU.

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...

DIGGIN' THRU.

Been traveling a lot...and lots of stuff going on in the homefront as well. That means a whole bunch of stuff collecting around my desk and in my office.

I meant to mention this before but just forgot about it. Hiroshi made a great little mix to celebrate the Reed Japan opening for us. Try and check it out if you can get your hands on a copy. It's called "Room Enough For Birds To Fly." You have to listen to it to find out why. Only available at Reed NY and JP.

When Nike JP sends you a package, its quite cute...the box top says "make customers happy--NIKE". And they certainly did when I finally got the LVMH Celux x Nike AF1s. Very clean and simple. Nike make customer happy for sure.

And in Nike Basketball news, the LB4 has dropped and I got these special edition versions...just in time for the start of Season 3 of the NRF! The case it comes in is pretty dope. Doubles as a great travel toiletry kit!

Christmas comes early from Paul Smith.

I've recently gotten into the old art of wax seal making. Manually melting wax, dripping it onto documents and then embossing it with your own custom stamp. Very zen calming and organic. I'm getting back into my Johann Gutenberg roots.
