Month: November 2016

Ask any Jordan head what their favorite XI is, and there’s a good chance that they’ll tell you it’s the Space Jam. They’re the rare shoe that manages to be clean and simple while displaying an effortless flashy style (probably because of the patent leather), and they hold a special place in many a sneakerhead’s heart.

However, there’s been some griping and grumbling from sneakerheads this year over the 2016 iteration of the Space Jams. They’re not true to the originals. They don’t look right. The price is too high. So you’ve got to ask yourself: will the Space Jams still be a hit in 2016? read more

Around a month ago, you were excited. You were on the Anti Social Social Club webpage refreshing over and over again, waiting for the drop. You put the pieces you wanted in your cart, winced at the exorbitant shipping fee, and copped anyway because you needed your jawns.

Maybe you were one of the lucky few that got their order right away. But most likely, you’re still sitting around at home wondering when your items are going to arrive. “What the hell’s going on?” you’re probably thinking. “Where are my Anti Social Social Club jawns?” Well, we think we may have figured out exactly what’s going on. read more

Here at KicksOneTwo, one of our favorite brands on the market is Noah. Headed up by former creative director of Supreme Brendon Babenzien, Noah provides an elevated streetwear experience, a product that’s cool enough to rock if you’re young, but stately enough to rock as you get older.

But we love Noah for more than just the product. Most brands are all about the image and the sales, but Babenzien won’t allow Noah to become that. He recently penned an extensive piece in which he explained why his jackets cost what they do, and implored his customers to not shop mindlessly or buy into fast fashion, as it’s bad for the planet and human rights. read more

Happy Thanksgiving, KicksOneTwo fam.

No matter how sore you may be about missing out on the Yeezys yesteray (I know you probably did, it happens to the best of us), I hope you’re having a great day with your loved ones and enjoying some delicious food today.

I’m truly thankful for each and every one of you who’s checked out the site. KicksOneTwo has changed a lot since I started it two-plus years ago, and I’ve learned a lot about the blog game and myself as a person ever since I started … and I owe it all to you, the readers. read more

Thrice as nice. You already know there’s 3 Yeezy 350 Boost V2’s releasing already. Maybe you won a raffle, maybe you’ve already copped your auto checkout slot (hopefully the extra $200 you paid didn’t set you back too much), maybe you’re just going to take your chances. Whatever you may be doing, your day tomorrow will likely be centered around the 350’s.

But here’s the real question: which pair is the best? All three are clean with the black base. All three are inherently wearable, and should slide easily into your winter sneaker rotation (no need to whine about being cold, you can always wear thicker socks). All three are fire. read more
