It’s the end of the year, so that means I’m obligated to post an end-of-year “best of list”. There were a lot of dope kicks this year, and it was very hard to narrow them down to 5, but after deliberation both alone and with the KicksOneTwo staff and homies, I was able to get it done.
A few things to keep in mind while reading this list: this is a personal opinion. This is my personal top 5, not the 5 shoes that had the most impact on the industry or changed the game the most (although that is factored in). This is about the five kicks released this year that I enjoyed the most. Also, I’m not including any re-released retro models as that would be copping out. It’s top 5 new models.
It’s crunch time. Less than two weeks until Christmas, and you haven’t bought anything for most (or all) of the people on your Christmas list. Well, I’m here to help. If you’re like me, most of your friends and maybe even some of your family are into shoes.
“But wait” you might say. “I can’t buy shoes for everyone on my list, that’s outrageously expensive”. Great! That’s where this handy article comes in. I’ve got some of the best Christmas gifts for the sneakerhead on your list, and what’s even better is that they’re all available at local retailers.
For today’s Kick Pic, we bring you a snap of Ross rocking the Nike Flyknit Trainer “Multicolor”.
I was perusing various sneaker sites a few days ago when I saw something that stopped me dead in my tracks. Complex and Flight Club were teaming up to offer a trip to New York, complete with a $1500 shopping spree at Flight Club’s NY location (in the event you didn’t see it, the link to enter the contest is here).
I allotted myself a few minutes to daydream about how dope winning the contest would be. A free trip to NY, meeting all the people at Complex, and $1500 to blow at New York’s sneaker mecca? Sounds like a dream come true.
For today’s Kick Pic, we bring you a snap of Ross rocking the Nike SB Dunk High “Send Help 2”.
For today’s edition, we bring you a track from Killer Mike & El-P‘s second collaborative album, Run The Jewels 2. Here’s “Oh My Darling Don’t Cry”.
I don’t get buyer’s remorse. Over the course of my whole life, I’ve returned something I bought maybe 2-3 times, and that was because what I bought just didn’t work (a cheap-ass Ipod dock from Marshalls), or it just wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be (Eddie Huang‘s vastly overrated book Fresh Off The Boat: A Memoir).
But I’m not going to lie, I’ve thought about it a lot. Where am I going with this, you might ask? Well as anyone who knows me will tell you, I’ve got a lot of sneakers in my collection. The last pair I bought though…I kind of wish I hadn’t.
