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...

OTHER COMMENTS (その他): I'm not by any means Nike iD's #1 fan. But every once in a while, a style comes out that I feel I have to take part in...just because. After Lance Armstrong won his last Tour De France, Nike pulled all the stops on their celebration. This shoe really kicked off his 10/2 collection. (10/2 being the day that he was diagnosed with cancer.) The famed artist Futura was asked to do numerous collaborations with Lance and he developed a set of graphic icons that correlated to stages in his life. For the iD version of this shoe, you got to choose which Futura icon you wanted on the back. I took my customization one step further and ask the artist himself to sign these joints for me. He lay the perfect tag on the heel side. Thanks Lenny.
その他:僕は決してNike iDの#1ファンではありません。でも時々、僕がどうしても欲しくなるスタイルが出ます。Lance Armstrongがツール・ド・フランスを優勝した後、Nikeは盛大なお祝いをしました。このシューズで彼の10/2コレクションがキックオフしました。(10/2は彼がガンと告知された日です。)有名アーチストFuturaはLanceと数々のコラボレーションをし、Lanceの人生の各ステージに関連するグラフィックアイコンを作り出しました。iDバージョンはシューズの後ろ側にFuturaアイコンを選んで入れることが出来ました。僕はさらにカスタマイズして、アーティスト本人にサインしてもらいました。かかと部分に完璧なタグをしてくれました。ありがとう、Lenny。

Sorry, but not even if you added a "0" to the end of that number.

Def Dope Jeff. But I still don't understand why you don't like ID's. A man like you who's so into hip hop should know that hip hop is all about individualism and the ability to express yourself; and Nike ID is all about that, so why no like?
