To Darrin Hudson: A NICE SET / JPN.

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...

A NICE SET / JPN.

(Check out the video clip Plus et Plus made.)

There is nothing quite like taking a 14hr flight. Landing. Dropping off your luggage. Then proceeding straight to work thru the night for 7 straight hours. Did I mention that work entailed standing on the edge of a ladder hammering delicate pieces of art? Needless to say, thats what me and Jeremy Hollister did to prep for the opening of A NICE SET. It all paid off because the opening was a major sucess. Tokyo came out and represented...

Lots of nails, screws, and fishing wire gets you this.

Stargazers...

Hollister with his friend Ai, Sakiko (Staple Spring Cover Girl) and Ito from Warp Mag, Brian from 852 HK representing with wifey!! (what a surpise!) and Akiko as well. And finally, a wallflower i would say...
