I gave my mom her first pair of Jordans this week.

Why’s that, you might ask? It was her birthday, and being the sneaker fiend that I am I figured that a dope pair of kicks would make for a great present. Plus, they were Jordan I Highs. Everyone loves Jordan I Highs. From sneakerheads to skaters to people who really don’t care about sneakers at all, you really can’t go wrong.

Plus there’s nothing quite like that first pair of Jordans. Some people might get them when they’re still waddling around, not 1oo percent sure how to walk. Some might get them as a Christmas present. Some might not even get their first pair until they’re well into their 30’s. read more

This last week, I was hanging out and talking about sneakers like I usually do in my free time when I heard an unfortunate phone conversation taking place in my immediate vicinity.

A young-ish kid decked out in Supreme and rocking some Nike Flyknit Racers was talking to his friend about the wheat Air Force I Mids that had dropped earlier that day.

In sneaker culture, there are few shops more prevalent than NiceKicks. With a dope storefront in Austin, Texas, and one of the best sneaker Youtube channels out, they’ve always managed to find a way to stay in the front of the pack in the sneaker industry.

One of the most popular segments on their Youtube channel is their “Sneak Peek” series, in which they visit various sneakerheads (everyone from DJ Skee to Rico Love), and let them show off some of the dope sneakers that they have in their collection. They’ve been through five very successful seasons, and just started their sixth. read more
