The final countdown has begun in earnest.

One week from today, the Minnesota sneaker community will be congregating at the Mayo Clinic Square for the 7th installment (can you believe we’re already on #7? Time flies!) of Studiiyo23‘s TCSAX, or Twin Cities Sneaker Art Xchange, an event that’s a must-attend for any sneaker head, hip-hop lover (or really just anyone who’s about the culture in any way, shape, or form).

Love shoes? There’s tables full of them. Want to hear some dope hip-hop? Everyone from Baby Shel to Why Khaliq will be performing. Looking to meet new people? You’ll be surrounded by a bunch of people who like the same things you do. What’s not to enjoy? read more

There’s a good chance you’re familiar with JsForDays. An online pre-order/consignment service, they’ve been guaranteeing your pair early (for a fee) and letting you partake in raffles to win rare kicks for years now.

Anyone in the Twin Cities hip-hop scene would tell you that Widikus was someone you looked to when you were in need of a dope rhyme or a good laugh. He was a friendly, outgoing guy, always quick with a smile and a dap. It was hard to be in a bad mood when he and the Left Life squad arrived at the function.

Although I haven’t known him that long personally, I always enjoyed the discussions we had at shows and the humorous back-and-forths that we engaged in on Twitter, and I’ll never forget when he and the Left Life crew tore the roof off at WAX back in November. read more
