All-Red Kicks: When Will It End?
Trends. Can’t live with em’, can’t live without em’. They affect what we rock on a daily basis far more than we’d like to admit, and Nike is usually at the forefront.
Much like any other industry, trends in the sneaker industry come and go. Remember the LeBron 9 Elite “South Beach”? I’m sure you do.
When that shoe popped off the way it did and created such a huge response, Nike wisely jumped all over it and started pumping out kicks with a similar color scheme left and right. The hype was very real for a while, but as hype does, it began to die down. When the “South Beach” Lebron 11 dropped this year, there was little to no reaction from the sneaker community, whom for the most part seemed to be tired of the color scheme.

Sneak Peek: KD VII “Calm Before The Storm”
With tomorrow being the release date for the KD VII “Calm Before The Storm”, the KicksOneTwo staff figured we’d give you an early look. With a slightly more muted look than the last two colorways (35,000 Degrees and Global Games), these may just be a sleeper hit. Check the pics below, and let us know if you’re planning to cop!

The Saucony Grid 9000 “Snow Beach” And Sneaker Nostalgia
With the release and subsequent immediate sell-out of the Saucony x Packer Shoes x Just Blaze Grid 9000 “Snow Beach” sneaker yesterday, I got to thinking about something that I like to call “sneaker nostalgia” and how there’s a lot of false instances of it going around the game right now.
Don’t get it wrong, this is by no means an article dissing the shoe. I love the colorway and the Grid 9000 is my favorite Saucony model. I just thought this would be as good a time as any to bring up a subject that I’ve been mulling around in my head for a while now.
