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...

INTER-OFFICE MAIL.

Thank you, Takashi for this great Nike SB Dunk x Medicom (4th one I guess?). It's really beautiful and classic.

Thank you, Wakako for these dope jackets. Left one is the new Caol Uno "10AC" Collection. Smartly designed performance pieces that look as good in the ring as they do on the street. (In case you were wondering, 10AC is Caol graphically spelled backwards.) The right one is part of Kiyonaga's new FCRB collection. Features some really cool venting and iPod integration.

Thanks to Michael and Sarah for a copy of All Gone. I hope they continue to do this each year. This culture deserves to live in a permanent world, rather than always speeding by in cyberspace. Seeing the products in this light gives it a whole new perspective to me. Stuff I might have given 2 seconds on some blog; I now get a chance to really study and appreciate. Keep it going!! We need this!

And finally, thanks to the guys at Mitchell & Ness and Dime Magazine for this baby. Probably the single most important moment for any sports/sneaker head, is now frozen in time with this beautiful set made by Mitchell & Ness in association with MJ himself. It's so rare that he does something without Nike and Brand Jordan, this is truly rare and quite honestly very surprising. But hey, who the hell else would you make a throwback jersey with?
The 20th anniversary jersey (which is the same jersey he made his infamous "foul line" dunk in) goes on sale on his birthday, 2/17/07. Only 500 will be available worldwide. Each jersey comes in a sick box set. Everything made in the USA. Each is hand numbered and labeled. And only 23 stores in the world have it. Reed Space will be one of them so come correct and bring your paycheck. This will set you back $400. Hey, owning a piece of history ain't cheap.

(Remember this poster? What self respecting nikehead did NOT have this on their wall?)

(Funny, as I did a google search for that Jordan poster, I found this. Interesting isn't it?)

Its iMail app but with a special freeware app that allows for sideways viewing of mail instead of regular vertical. Its much better for widescreen laptops. I forgot where I downloaded it from, its been so long. But try checking lifehacker.com
