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...

BARCELONA BBB: THE LABELS.

After a long conversation with my friend Tetsuya from New Balance, we shared a common thought that the internet and blogs have made it too easy for people to check out and get new things. We recalled that when we were young, a hunt was necessary to acquire what you really coveted. Even prior to the hunt, you needed to do your homework...research...study...and observe. Then if and when you finally get what you were looking for, the entire experience along with the product itself becomes so much more valuable. Everything now is just 2 clicks away. People spend months and sometimes years developing things. For the viewer to just give it 2 seconds on a blog and click away isn't fair. Hold it in your hands. Try it on. Make the decision for yourself. So with that, I have decided to just show labels of some of the notable brands that were here. Some good stuff from all of them and what you should do is go out and look for these young guns if you're interested in them. Do your homework and see if it's something you're into supporting.
New BalanceのTetsuyaと長い会話の末、インターネットやブログは新しい物をチェックしたり購入することをあまりにも簡単にしていることに結論づきました。僕達が若い頃、凄く欲しかったものを手に入れるにはそれを追跡する必要がありました。探し回る前に宿題があります。。。リサーチし、勉強し、観察し。そして、やっと欲しかったものが見つかったとき、その商品と共にそのプロセスもそれだけ貴重になります。今はすべてたったのダブルクリック。商品を開発するのに何ヶ月、もしくは何年も掛けます。それをブログで2秒間見て、クリックするだけで手に入るなんてフェアじゃない。手にとって、試着して、自分で決断をするべきです。なので、ここに参加した注目すべきブランドのラベルだけお見せします。みんないい商品があるので興味があれば、外に出て探してください。宿題をして、応援したいものなのか自分で判断してください。
