Thoughts On The Jordan VI “Black Infrared”
As anyone who even has a passing interest in sneakers knows, the Jordan VI “Black Infared” will be released this upcoming Black Friday. Even though it’s been re-released a few times since its original release in 1991, it still creates somewhat of a frenzy whenever it drops. With this being hands down the biggest sneaker release of Black Friday, it’s only right that the quality of the shoe and what the community thinks about them is discussed here on KicksOneTwo.
Although the shoe does look great in pictures (in case you couldn’t tell from looking at the snap above), in person the quality is average at very best. The nubuck on the upper is very susceptible to scratches and scuffs, but the 3M hits are nicely done.

Black Friday Sucks
You might be groaning.
An opinion piece? On a sneaker website? “I didn’t come here for opinions, I came here to read about sneakers”. Well that’s just great. Sneakers and sneaker-related topics (which this kind of is, in a funny way) are going to be 95% of what goes on here. However, occasionally there’s an issue that needs to be written about. Much like the Bar Louie piece I wrote this July, I feel like writing about something that “really grinds my gears” as Peter Griffin might say.

As today is ThrowBack Thursday, we decided it was only right to bring you a throwback picture. Here’s a pair of Bob Marley-inspired custom Nike Dunks from KicksOneTwo homie Salvatore‘s table all the way back at TCSAX III. Check out the Biggie/Pac and Texas joints in the background too!

Flight Club: What It’s All About
There’s a pretty good chance you’ve heard of/visited (either online or in person)/bought from Flight Club. One of the most well-known sneaker stores in the world, they have everything from rare SB’s to promo Teyana Taylor Adidas.
It’s pretty great that there’s a shoe store that has almost everything a sneakerhead can dream of. However, sometimes questions arise. Why’s Flight Club so expensive? Where do they get their shoes from? I’d be more than happy to answer those questions, and let you know about how a store like Flight Club does business as well.
