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...

UNIFORM EXPERIMENT.

There's only 2 things in life that are certain: Death. And Taxes. Which means if there is one commonality in all of us, it's that we get old. I am getting old. Hell, I inexplicably purchased 2 suits this past summer...even though I never wear suits at all. I find myself listening to Elton John and I attend Billy Joel concerts. I am slowly, but surely turning into my parents.
Two really inspirational people in Japan must be feeling the same way: Kiyonaga from SOPH and Hiroshi Fujiwara from Fragment. They have come together to create a new collection called UNIFORM EXPERIMENT. It's mainly a suit collection that definitely is catering towards street kids that have grown up. Amazing detail in sweaters, suits, pants, ties and other accessories. I was privy to their Spring collection in Tokyo. I can't show too much but rest assured this is something for you thirty-somethings to be on the look out for.

I think this is really sick, i think it can go further than just street kids that grew up. Being a month away from turning 21 and a year away from graduating college, I'd be interested in it in the same way that I love T shirts and hoodies. It would allow me a way to transition to the working world and still be able to keep my style. I'll definetly be keeping an eye out for this.

I would love to see what footwear they are pairing with this... I am guessing something ultra simple. I also find myself having to break out suits (or in my case - my only suit) more and more. Tell me there is hope :-)
