This looks like a postcard doesn’t it? But it’s not. It’s the view from my room. I’m in Miami for my cousin’s wedding reception. Nice departure from the weather we’re having in NYC. Last night, I wondered around the area looking for a spot to eat and found this amazing Japanese restaurant called Sushi Republic. Extremely fresh and tasty.

How does 6 degrees of separation work? Well, when you interact with very interesting people, you get mixed up into this hurricane of talent that you cannot escape. These 4 people, whom I met on separate occasions in the last 72 hours; may or may not know each other. But now they are intertwined forever. If and when they ever meet, they can say, “Wow, we are cosmically connected. Via Darrin Hudson!”
Gabe Urist (top-left): You may know Gabe as the world famous “sneaker jeweler”. He’s also a pretty good baller.
Tyler Askew (top-right): President and CEO of rude-nyc. Ill designer and iller disc jockey. Guess that makes him a jockey of both hard discs and compact discs.
Atsuko Tanaka (bottom-left): Atsuko is a dope photographer. Incidentally, she shot the first ever press photo of me for a Japanese magazine WAY back in 1997! We have kept in touch ever since and she’s probably one of the oldest friends I have in NYC.
Jeremy Hollister: (bottom-right): Hollister owns Plus Et Plus, a motion, broadcast and graphics firm. Always onto the next level, Jeremy is. He’s usually doing some incredible stuff.
So there you go guys. You can thank me for the introductions later.

Back in my youthful tennis days, (Pre-Agassi) there were three sneakers you wore at summer camp: Prince, Wilson or Tretorn’s. In all honestly, Tretorn’s were the people’s champ trainer. Simple, elegant and classic: What tennis ought to be. Somewhere in between my learner’s permit and graduation, they fell off the face of the earth. Only to be reborn in 2006! Someone at Tretorn sent me a box of their new styles. The same classic styling is back in effect. Just in time for my table tennis run.
Check out the site. Peep the SAFETY styles…insane.

Watch out for this man’s name. I don’t know who he is, but I have bets that he will one day rule the entire universe.
While us fuckheads are painting on sneakers, check out what homeboy is doing in his crib…
PS: I know Paul posted this already on Honeyee, so I will refrain from double posting there. Yes, a Darrin Hudson EXCLUSIVE.

WEEK 9 is in the books.
In the interest of time, and to keep things short and sweet; I will be writing this week’s ENTIRE recap, as a Haiku.
(ahem, clears throat…)
Game 1: Uptempo over Huarache 40-31.
Expansion means what?
Second place at jeopardy.
HUA must beware.
Game 2: Terminator over Generation 31-29.
1st half was a romp.
The opposite for half two.
Buzzer beater win.
Game 3: Delta Force over Foamposite 54-42.
Delta on a roll!
Both teams are now 6 and 2.
Foam must recover.
Game 4: Shox over Dunk 49-46.
Live by the three ball.
This came down to the last shot.
But no win for Dunk.
Player Of The Week:
Evan Baggs of Delta Force (20 pts / 5 rebs / 1 blk / 3 stls / 3 asst)
I Live For Tuesdays!
Thank You.

For anyone who is a fan of Mr. Jordan and also a multi-millionaire, you should check this out. It’s right up your alley. But before you hastily go clicking that “BID NOW” button, I would suggest you go and test drive the McLaren Mercedes SLR also. They’re going for about the same price. But the $500,000 you drop on the Jordans will go towards the Hurricane Katrina Relief effort. So go ahead, continue clicking that “BID NOW” button now…

Thanks to the overwhelming demand of the sale we just had, we’re extending it for a few more days, so if you weren’t able to drop by, you still have a few days to do so. Everything is still 70% off!!! For those bad at math, we’re talking jackets for like $18, tees for like $8! Kicks for $40! We’ve also added some new items into the mix. (And whoever keeps bringing those counterfeit $100 bills, please stop.)

This winter has been schizophrenic to say the least. But Ol’ Man Winter came back this weekend to show us who’s boss. It was 12°F today! I had lunch with Brendon before he headed to Sin City (along with the rest of NYC) to attend the MAGIC tradeshow (and PROJECT/POOL). From there I felt the need to walk home for some reason. I ran into Kenzo Minami on the way, which lead to a 30 minute conversation on the freezing corner. You can’t really stand outside with Kenzo cuz he’s just too damn popular. Every 3 minutes someone came over to say hello. But it was good to catch up with homeboy. We went to Parsons together and he is definitely doing his thing. Peep his new Reebok Pump Fury and he is also featured in the “I Am What I Am” campaign.
When I finally got home, you guessed it, I was sick. Time to go into drug overload…
Oh yeah, big up to Allan from AKA who dropped off the new KR edition of AKA. Its beautiful.
The Man. The Myth. The Mack. Minami-san.
Need….chicken….soup….
The AKA strikes back. Amazing edition dedicated to KR.

It’s a good week when you get treated to dinner at your favorite restaurant twice, back to back! It happened this week when some Timberland heads came into town and then the following night, I met up with Yuko from Foundation World and her friend, Pasha. Good company, good food, good times.
Soba strikes twice…best in NYC. (I think the next shit is for companies to NOT have websites anymore. It’s like saying “We’re such hot shit, we don’t need no fucking website. Let others write about us.”
CJP and Jeff from Timblerand.
Pasha and Yuko from Foundation World.

Don’t ask me why…but for some inexplicable reason, I have major Winter Olympic Fever. Despite reports of horrific ratings, I am possessed by the Winter Games…staying up to 4am to watch the days events. Hell, some events even brought a tear to my eye. Even figure skating, which is the one sport I NEVER watched…has me totally glued to the screen. Did anyone else catch Team China? This little girl took a bad fall, got up, finished her routine with her partner and won silver. It was heroic. Only to be topped by the Russian pair that took gold after a horrific accident a few years back. Sports is sports man…you can’t script something better. and then of course Shani Davis…the first African American to win a gold at the Olympics. And he took it like he had a mad chip on his shoulder. Did you see his post win interview? That boy was on a mission and he accompished it.
Ouch! Check out the expressions on those people’s faces. That shows how hard this impact was.
Peep the bandage on homegirl’s knee. That’s a warrior.
First black man to win a gold in Winter Olympic history: Shani Davis. And he did it mad as hell…
