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...

I HEART TOKYO.

Strange feeling....to have a homesick feeling for a city you never called home. I have been away from Tokyo for over 6 months which is a very long time for me. And I felt the urge to go back. Here's a travelogue of the people, places, and things I have seen. Still one of the best cities in the world.

As I always say, the flight to Tokyo is like a local bus now. You will always see someone you know on the flight. This time, it was Gabe Urist...the infamous jeweler (and member of the NRF).

Deep thoughts. By Gabe Urist.

In Japan, the product selection is of course always killer. Where else would Coca-Cola make a drink called LOVE BODY. Americans get CRUNK JUICE. They get LOVE BODY...it explains a lot of things.

Of course I had to go diggin' for limited edition Kit Kats. This time I managed to pick up Caramel and Chestnut. My dream is to one day do a Staple Kit Kat.


Want to see how they park cars in the future? Just go to Japan. This is from Roppongi Hills.

Not very original. Bloomberg should call his lawyers on this one.
Lots more to come....stay tuned.

I love the deep thoughts from Gabriel, either way you look at it someone is getting 'served'! ;-)
