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...

NINA x 2.

My friend Jean recently introduced me to a new store and a dope delicacy. The store is called Valley and its pretty close to Reed Space. It's geared towards the ladies but a great place to take wifey. Clothing/Art/Nails/Waxing...what more can your lady ask for? In addition to all that, the owner of Valley, Nina, whips up an amazing treat called Acai. I never heard of it before (because I don't watch Orpah apparently) but as it explains on their website:
"Acai (ah-sigh-ee) is an all-natural energy fruit from Amazon palmberries. Harvested in the rainforests of Brazil, Açai tastes like a vibrant blend of berries and chocolate, and has been used for thousands of years by the natives of Brazil who believe this magical fruit to have amazing healing and nutritional properties.
...Acai contains the most complete array of vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids, and has more protein than an egg. Studies show that Acai has up to thirty-three times the antioxidant content as red wine grapes. No other berry or fruit product comes close to matching the nutritional and antioxidant content of Acai."
Nothing like being good AND good for you.

Hi Jeff. I love the Reed Space store and recently went on a shopping spree. The one thing I wanted to buy was the Nike Considered boot in a size 9. I'd like to know if you are interested in selling them for a marked up price. Your response will be greatly appreciated. I can leave my info with Morgan.
