Style

Welcome to the new Style section! The team at KicksOneTwo loves fresh gear almost as much as sneakers, so we decided it was only right to include a section on clothing and accessories. Check back here for news on new clothing drops, outfit of the day pics, and clothing reviews!

Could This Be the Lebron 12?

Yesterday, Kicks Or Die on Instagram posted two images of what looked to be the Lebron 12. The images were quickly removed, but thankfully not before the internet managed to get a hold of them. The shoe looks to be a super-high top with some sort of Flyknit or woven upper, and a multi-colored translucent icy sole. Check the pictures below. What do you think of this possible Lebron 12? Is the Lebron line headed in a good direction next year?

Thoughts On Random Restocks

We all know the feeling: You see that tweet informing you there’s a restock over on NDC. Maybe you hurry over there and grab a pair that you’ve been wanting since you missed out on the original drop. Maybe you run over there, and there’s nothing left that you wanted. Maybe you don’t have any spare cash and you just have to let it pass by. And maybe, god forbid, you don’t see anything until it’s too late and you miss out on everything completely.

I’ve heard a lot of different opinions on surprise restocks. Some people love them. Some people find them annoying. Some people don’t care one way or another because they don’t have the time to stay up to date. I personally think random restocks are great and here’s why: read more

Music

Welcome to the music section!

As music is a large part of our sneaker culture, we felt that it was necessary to include a music section on KicksOneTwo. You’ll hear dope tracks from artists both local and national, and possibly some staff musings or discussion on music as well!

Kick Pics: Jordan Future “Volt”

It was a successful weekend for the KicksOneTwo staff in terms of new pickups. I was able to grab a pair of the Jordan Futures in the “Volt” colorway, while Jahmade was able to grab the camo colorway (pics of those coming soon!)

If you’re looking to get your hands on a pair, the good folks over at Studiiyo23 still have a few in stock!

I think the Future will be a great summer sneaker due to its lightweight upper and vibrant colors. Without further ado, here’s a few snaps! Enjoy. read more

What Makes Somebody A Sneakerhead?

There’s no dictionary definition for “sneakerhead”. You could ask ten different people what they thought, and you’d very likely get ten different answers. There are lots of different types of folks with different levels of interest in shoes, so how do you determine who’s a “sneakerhead” and who isn’t? Here’s my two cents on the topic.

In my opinion, the main requirement is that you have to have a certain level of knowledge on the topic. Anyone can use their money to buy a bunch of sneakers, but what sets someone who’s a real head apart from someone who just owns a lot of shoes is what they know. It’s like the difference between a person who owns a nice camera and an actual photographer. There’s a level of knowledge that’s required. If you can speak intellegently on sneaker history, the sneaker culture currently, and where you think the culture is going in the future, that means you’re more invested in the culture as a whole as opposed to someone who just mindlessly consumes. read more

Starting Five: KicksOneTwo Founder Ross Dwyer

Welcome to the first post of a new segment we’re excited to bring to you: the Starting Five.

The idea behind the Starting Five is to showcase the five sneakers that are in someone’s rotation, and give them a chance to explain why they’ve been rocking said sneakers so much.

I thought I’d get everything started, so here are the five kicks that are currently in my rotation!

1. Nike Flyknit Trainer: Flyknit has become my favorite Nike technology. These are a great summer shoe, very lightweight and comfy. The all-over multicolor Flyknit upper really works with any type of fit. read more
