The Supreme x Vans Sk8 Mid Pro’s Are A Must-Have

We love Vans, especially the classic Sk8-Hi. We love Supreme (and have for years, don’t get it twisted). We really love leopard print. It’s nothing if not a head-turner.

Because we love all that, you’re probably already came to the conclusion that we love the new Supreme Vans … and you’re 100% correct.

Announced yesterday, this season’s Vans collab arrives on the not-often-used Sk8 Mid (we wish they were Sk8-Hi’s, but beggars can’t be choosers), and comes in yellow, blue, black, and pink. read more

Nike’s Handling The PG 1 Release The Right Way

We’ll come right out and say it: sneakerheads don’t really care about Nike Basketball anymore.

The hot streak they enjoyed when every LeBron, KD, and Kobe release was on point is long gone, and now the vast majority of their shoes sit on shelves, hit the sale rack, and then hit the outlets. It’s the nature of the game. Sneakerheads have a short attention span, and Nike Basketball lost that attention span several years ago due to a combination of over-saturation, poor design, and a shifting market. read more

Divided Opinions: The Kith x Naked Adidas CS2S Has Sneakerheads Torn

Kith has a pretty damn high batting average when it comes to collabs.

From Asics to New Balance to adidas and more, they can really do no wrong in the eyes of the general sneaker-loving public, and it seems that each of their new releases is better than the last.

However, they’ve got a shoe dropping in March that seems to have a lot of sneakerheads torn. It’s the CS2S, released in collaboration with Naked and adidas. If you were wondering, CS2 is short for “City Sock 2”. These will be the first release of the second version of the City Sock. read more

Pharrell’s New Shoes: Not Sure If Human Race Or Stan Smith

Pharrell’s Human Race NMD’s were without a doubt one of the best shoes of 2016. In typical Skateboard P fashion, they were unique, colorful, and turned heads wherever you went. They were very desirable … and very valuable, as most pairs still easily go for $500.

Now it’s 2017, and Pharrell’s back for another go-around with the Human Race, as evidenced by these leaked images courtesy of someone who refers to themselves as “spicy chicken wings”. Great name, right? Well, at least as long as they’re bone-in. The KicksOneTwo squad doesn’t really rock with boneless wings, unless we’re at Buffalo Wild Wings or a similar establishment where you really can’t taste the difference. read more

The Air Max 97 Needs A Stateside Release ASAP

We’re going through withdraws.

Air Max withdraws to be specific. You see, we’re hankering for a pair of the “Silver Bullet” Air Max 97’s, even though they haven’t seen a widespread U.S. release yet (they were released as a quickstrike at Kith, but we can’t count that … nobody hits on those).

Why do we want a pair so bad, you may be asking? Fair question. Let us explain.

The Air Max 97 (especially the Silver Bullet colorway) is a classic. From roadmen to football fans to Air Max lovers, it’s a shoe that’s firmly established its place in history, and several would go as far as to call it one of the best Air Maxes of all time. read more

Zebras: The Best (And Hardest To Get) V2 Yet

The madness will descend upon us again this Friday, February 25th.

Feelings will be hurt. Credit cards will be loaded up with pending charges. Complaints about a complete and total lack of luck will be made. The resell market will be booming.

Yup, it’s Yeezy release day again … and this weekend’s release is the best Yeezy V2 yet for our money. It’s clean. It has just enough flair. It’s mostly white, something we haven’t seen on a 350 just yet. It’s perfect for summer, and it’s nicknamed the “zebra”. read more

Satin Jordan I’s: A Luxe Take On The Original

If you’ve heard it from us once, you’ve heard it from us a thousand times. Now that we’re over a thousand articles, there’s a damn good chance we’ve said it nearly a thousand times: we love Jordan I’s. From the OG’s to new colorways, from simple GR’s to rare collabs, we love em’ all. They’re our favorite shoes ever.

So you already know we were gassed when the Breds (our favorite shoe ever) dropped in an extra-luxe satin style last year (to honor the “banned” release), and we’re hype again, as it’s been officially announced that the Royals will be receiving the satin treatment as well. read more

Give The Dunk Contest A Rest

The NBA Slam Dunk Contest is trash. It’s been trash for the better part of the last decade … and it really isn’t even worth watching anymore.

Yeah, we said it. And we’re not just saying it for shock value either … we mean it. It sucks. But before you slam your laptop shut or throw your phone in disgust, hear us out. The dunk contest isn’t what it used to be, and the NBA needs to give it a rest.

For a long while, the dunk contest was the best part of NBA All-Star Weekend (even more so than the actual game). Dr. J dunked from the free throw line. MJ and Dominique dueled. Vince Carter shook the rafters. So did Jason Richardson. read more
