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...

MYSTERIOUS RIDE.

If someone calls you up, tells you a car will come pick you up in front of your place. And they say just get in and go where the driver takes you... Would you go? Depends on who that person is I guess right? Well that's what Nike said in a very mysterious phone call one day. And as planned, a pimped out Escalade came to my office to get me right on time. I get in the back seat and a monitor flips down from the ceiling. My good friend Richard Clarke proceeds to tell me all about the new and improved Air Force 1 and the upcoming AF25. We reach our destination and GT from Nike proceeds to take me on a one-on-one tour of the AF1-25 space they have set up in downtown manhattan. The new AF1s are a major major improvement over the OG version. You may not notice a visual difference at first glance, but your feet surely will. They are butter soft inside. I'm also looking forward to testing out the AF25s on the ball court.

Mr. Staple, you are amazing. Design wise, I kiss the concrete, wooden, and marble floors you walk on. I dream of someday accomplishing my goal to work with Nike on my designs. For now, I'll keep looking up to guys like you who bring nothing but exclusivity to the fashion industry in areas that are not touched by anyone else. be safe and keep the creativity alive.

your homie,

Niam
