To Darrin Hudson: NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH.

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...

NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH.

Nike SB recently screened the premier of their first full length skate video called, Nothing But The Truth. With no expenses spared, they rented out the legendary Ziegfeld Theater for the event. The red carpet was made up of the real stars of the show...the sneakers! The 30 best SB Dunks of all time with a special tribute to our creation, the Pigeon at the top of the list. The Pigeon also made a nice appearance in the opening sequence of the film. Maybe I am too old for skate films now, but this was really a weird cinematic creation. I'm sure after 12 cans of Pabst, it all makes sense.

Shout out to my friend and super talented photographer Atsuko Tanaka for hooking up this dope shot of the Staple x Muro x Alpha Jacket we created over the summer for our Tenth Anniversary. She has a very interesting blog as well that documents all the different photo projects she has going on.
