He’s released a lot of hit records, made a lot of money, and copped a lot of fly kicks … something he does in spades in Complex’s latest installment of their famous “Sneaker Shopping” series.

Here at KicksOneTwo, we’ll always show love to our homies that are doing something dope, especially when it’s sneaker or sneaker culture related. We love to see people create, push themselves, and take their hobby or passion and turn it into something awesome. And recently, nobody’s been killing it more than our homie Brady, a young Twin Cities sneakerhead.

He’s got a YouTube channel called Tomo Talk, in which he discusses his sneaker and clothing pickups, vlogs on his trips to Chicago, tells stories, and shares his thoughts and opinions on happenings in the sneaker game. He’s got an impressive sneaker collection for someone his age, and a passion for the game as a whole. read more
