I had a funny thought a few days ago. I was chilling with my homie (and KicksOneTwo’s Creative Director) Jahmade, and the topic of discussion was the sneaker that we’d received the most compliments on in public (the compliments being from the general public, not other sneakerheads or those in the know).

As I mulled the question over, to my great surprise I realized that my most complimented shoe was my Volt Jordan Futures (yeah, that’s me wearing the volt futures in the picture. The purple, camo and easter futures belong to Moh, Jahmade, and Bill respectively). read more

The sneaker gods have heard my prayers.

That was my first thought when I heard about the Flyknit Roshe Runs. I’ve been on a real tech running kick these last few months, and when one of my favorite silhouettes is paired up with my favorite Nike technology, it’s an instant win. There are so many cool things that could happen with this sneaker as they develop it more over the next several months. I mean really, who wouldn’t love a multicolor Flyknit upper on a Roshe sole? Sounds like an instant win to me. read more

Here at KicksOneTwo, we love us some Kith. From the sneakers to the Mercer pants, to the short sleeve hoodies, we’re with the Ronnie Fieg movement all the way.

So we got to thinking: Since Ronnie is a god in the sneaker/street style industry, what would his ten commandments be? We’ve got a pretty good idea. Read on to see for yourselves.

1. Thou Shalt Show Love To Retro Runners

Nobody does retro running models like Ronnie does. From Gel Lite III’s to New Balance 1600’s, it seems that Ronnie has made a crazy colorway for almost all the classic running models. read more

Welcome to a new segment the folks here at KicksOneTwo are glad to bring to you: the “Community Opinion”. It’s a pretty simple concept. Folks from the local sneaker community chip in with quick opinions on a sneaker, from good to bad. We figured it would be a fun way to bring the community together and let them share their opinions.

For the first segment, we asked for opinions on the KD7 “Global Game”. Releasing tomorrow, this red/silver KD model drew some mixed opinions from the community. Read on to see what your fellow Minneapolis sneakerheads were thinking, (and click the links to check out their Twitters and Instagrams. If they’re affiliated with any sneaker business, that will be included as well)! read more

Earlier this week, hypebeasts all over the world rapidly developed uncontrollable erections with the announcement of what could safely be called a holy trinity collaboration: Jordan, Nike SB, and Supreme were rumored to be working on a sneaker.

Rumors and speculation are now swirling around the sneaker world as to what might be going on. Will it be a Jordan 1 SB, similar to a Lance Mountain? Will it be something off the wall? All hypebeastry aside, will it even be cool?

As someone who’s been collecting Supreme for a few years now (I’d like to think I know a little bit about the other brands too…Jordan more so than Nike SB), I have a few guesses as to what may be going on. read more
