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...

NO "I" IN STAPLE.

teamstaple_fader.jpg

Just recently dropped Fader Japan, features a story on Staple Design. Its rare to see the entire team together in one shot like this. (Well almost, a couple people are missing...) But rest assured everything you read on this blog could not be made possible without the help of these dudes and dudettes.
Allow me to introduce: (l-r) Nico, Do, me, Jun, Jerry, Luna, Aya, Delia, Gio, Kuni, Tim, Suzette and Morgan.

Jeff-
I was reading your blog and saw a dear friend of mine that I lost contact with a little over a year ago. Kuni, what the F is Kuni doing standing next to Jeffstaple?!?! Kuni moved to New York sometime ago from Chicago where we attended school together. I have tried to contact him, but it appears that you keep him pretty busy!! Anyways, Jeff I apologize for taking up your time, but if you could relay a message to Kuni I would be so thankful. Tell him I'm proud of him. He knows how much I look up to you on all levels, and I think he feels that I might resent him for making it big. Tell him I have a huge smile on my face knowing that he is learning from the best. (CASE and Point the new Gravis Blackbox line)Kuni is one of the nicest and best people I know and I kick myself on the regular knowing that day by day our relationship is dwindling.
Thanks again Jeffstaple

PS someday I'm going to send you my design portfolio, and have you rip it apart!

If Kuni wants to contact me?

sorry if I disrespected you by contacting you through your blog, I'm just so frickin amazed for Kuni!!

Much Regards
Matthew Phelan
