Ross Dwyer For today’s edition of Music Mondays, we bring you a song that’s accompanied by one of our favorite music videos in quite a while. Here’s “$ave Dat Money” by Lil Dicky featuring Fetty Wap and Rich Homie Quan.
Round IV.
It’s that time again…that time for another edition of Sunday Sneaker Ramblings. I’m sitting here enjoying a nice hot cup of coffee (out of a Kith mug of course, as anything else would be uncivilized), and I feel like sharing my thoughts on what’s been going on in the sneaker world this week.
Let’s start off with the OVO VIII’s, of which a few images were leaked this week.
With the hype from the OVO X’s still lingering, and the buzz around Drake palpable as ever with the release of “What A Time To Be Alive”, the OVO VIII’s lit up the sneaker world when images leaked this past week. No word on any release date (or really any concrete info on the shoes themselves at all), but this clean black VIII with red and gold accents and what appears to be super-premium leather will whip the sneaker world into a frenzy. I’ll definitely be trying to cop.
Everyone wants quality nowadays. Whether you’re in the market for a new pair of kicks, a new car, or a delicious lunch at a fancy-ass restaurant, quality is important. You’ll normally pay extra to get something that’s of a higher caliber and will last longer than the cheaper alternative.
So you don’t mind paying extra for something that’ll last. Great. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, allow me to present a radical though to you: have you ever considered investing in high-quality pieces for your wardrobe?
We’ve got a weekend full of heat ahead of us (we even listed what day each shoe is dropping in the descriptions), and the time is right for another edition of Top 5 Sneaker Releases This Weekend. Get your credit cards, Paypal accounts, and bots ready to go. Let’s get right into it.
5. Bait x Asics Gel Lyte III “Nightmare” (Saturday)
Longtime Asics collaborator Bait comes correct with their latest Gel Lyte III. Featuring an upper constructed of premium materials, subtle hits of 3M, and a speckled midsole/translucent outsole, this is one of the cleanest Gel Lyte III collaborations in recent memory.
Hey there.
Yeah, I’m plugging again (cue Drake and Future’s “I’m The Plug). If you already follow the KicksOneTwo Instagram, thank you. Your support is greatly appreciated, and you can move on to another article. Feel free to read about the head-to head battle between Kanye and Drake’s recent sneaker releases, or the top 5 episodes of Sneaker Shopping. They’re just a little ways down the page.
If you don’t follow the KicksOneTwo Instagram, have a seat. I’m going to let you know exactly why you should (in great detail nonetheless).
It’s a battle for the ages. David and Goliath. Gatti and Ward. Hobbs and Whammer. The Yeezy 350 Boost and the OVO X.
This is like Celebrity Deathmatch, except we’re comparing sneakers instead of the celebrities themselves. In the red corner, we’ve got Kanye West‘s Adidas Yeezy 350 Boost. In the blue corner, we’ve got Drake‘s Jordan OVO X. They’ll go head to head for four rounds (four important categories: materials, comfort, wearability, and cultural significance), and only after that will a winner emerge. Alright, enough with the boxing analogies, let’s get to the first category in our sneaker showdown.
For this edition of Music Mondays, we bring you a banger from Casey Veggies. Here’s “Anybody”.
Editor’s note: It seems like everyone’s talking about Drake and Future’s “What A Time To Be Alive” tape, so we thought it was only right to bring you something different. Be sure to check out (and buy) the project in the unlikely event you haven’t heard it yet!
It was a wonderful day, filled with sneakers, music, art, good food, good people, and excellent weather.
TCSAX 6 (the first ever outdoor TCSAX) went down behind Studiiyo23 yesterday, and it was one for the books. I’m proud to say that I’ve been to every single TCSAX (I’ve actually still got the shirt from the very first one), and this one just might have been the best one yet.
Why’s that, you might ask? It’s simple. The positive, upbeat, welcoming vibe that TCSAX has always been known for seemed to be even more prevalent than usual. Sure, packing the Cabooze is dope, and throwing an event in the Target Center is a big milestone for any business, but nothing beats shutting down a city street for the day to bring the community together.
Today’s the day.
Studiiyo23 is hosting the 6th installment of their Sneaker Art Xchange (TCSAX for short) from 12PM-6PM today, and it’s gearing up to be the best one yet. With sneakers, art, food, and music, there’s something for everyone.
KicksOneTwo has been in attendance at every single TCSAX to date, so we felt it was only right to give you a quick guide on how to have the best possible time. From what you can eat to what music you’ll get to listen to..we’ve got you covered. Read on, and find out everything you need to know about the premiere sneaker event in the Twin Cities!
It’s the third Friday of the month, so you already know it’s time for the Foolish Bastard Family to take over the Kitty Cat Klub for their monthly residency. Foolish OG’s BVCKWOODS, Sajnt, and Connye will be spinning, and Spencer Joles will rock the mic as well. Doors are at 9 PM, and as usual, it’s only $3 to get in. Check the flyer below for more info, and be sure to stop through for what’s guaranteed to be a wavy evening.
