I know the feeling. You watch a new episode of Sneak Peek, or walk inside your friend’s house and see his boxes of sneakers stacked to the ceiling, and think “Damn, I’ve gotta get some more kicks. Believe me, I’ve been there.

However, I’m here with an important message for you today, and that message is quality over quantity. Yeah, you heard me right, quality is way more important than quantity.

What am I trying to say, you might ask? Well it’s actually pretty simple. I’m saying that the quality of the kicks in your collection is way more important than how many pairs you have. Buying shoes takes no special talent. Anyone with some money in their pocket can run through the mall and drop a few hundred dollars for 4-5 pairs of shoes. Do that enough, and before you know it, you’ll have a wall full of kicks in your room. read more

Yesterday was a big day.

I got my first article published on a site that’s known the world over. I’m now a contributor to the Karmaloop blog, KLX. I’ll be bringing fresh content to their blog 2-3 times a week. My first post was on one of my idols, none other than Skateboard P himself, Pharrell Williams. If you’re so inclined, you can read the piece here.

I’m still in a state of disbelief that this actually happened. When I started KicksOneTwo about a year ago, my goal was to reach as many people as I could. I’ve always said that if one person enjoyed one article that I wrote, it made the whole thing worthwhile. Now, with the help of a major site like Karmaloop, I have the chance to reach thousands of people all over the world. My main goal is to produce as much quality content as possible, both here, and for Karmaloop. read more

If you know me, you know that I love Jordan I’s. The silhouette is perfect, not too chunky and not too slim. They look good fresh out of the box or trashed. They’re the rare shoe that works with pants and shorts.

Owing to the fact that I love the shoe so much, I thought it would be only right to list off my top 5 Jordan I’s of all time, in order from #5 to #1. This list has nothing to do with rarity or value, just my favorites. So without further ado, let’s get into it.
