What’s good, everyone? (I feel like I’m obligated to start these pieces with “what’s good” at this point!)

Back for the monthly check-in, and to fill all of you in on what I’ve been doing recently. There’s been a LOT going on since the last time I touched base with everyone, and even more coming in the future, so I’m really excited to bring you all up to speed.

First off, as you probably noticed within the last few weeks, we’ve got a new contributor here on KicksOneTwo, my dude Emil (or Bobby if you prefer) Cienik. He’s been blessing you with gems on everything from corniness in the sneaker world to bandwagon sneaker fans for the past few days, and he’ll be bringing you more content very soon! read more

You heard it right, today is the last day of Studiiyo23‘s crazy buy one, get one 50% off sale! Almost everything in the store is excluded….and you know you need a new fit for the 4th! Stop by the shop today and get your fit situation right!

To everyone who’s going for their pair today…good luck. Here’s a humorous video review from Complex in the spirit of release day. Remember to go a full size down!

After a hiatus, it’s finally back.

That’s right, Nice Kicks‘s ever-popular “Sneak Peek” is back for season 7, and it’s kicking off with a visit to Andre Iguodala‘s closet. Check it out below!

What’s good, everyone?

It’s been a little over a month since my last check-in, so I figured today was as good of a day as any to update all of you on what I’ve been doing recently.

Everything’s still moving along at KLX. I’m still blessing their pages with dope work, and I’ve wrote about everything from bomber jackets to summer style trends. If you’re so inclined, here’s a list of all the articles I’ve wrote in the last month.

What’s good everyone?

Yes, you read the title right. I’m writing this article on my phone. I’ve spent the better part of the last two hours trying to get my MacBook to connect to the Internet with no success at all. Comcast is the worst, aren’t they?

I was planning on uploading some new photos, but with my computer refusing to connect to the web, I’ve got no way to do it.

Needless to say, I’m very annoyed. I’ve had a new post up here at 8 AM every single day for over a year now, and I refuse to let that streak end (which is why I’m typing this on my phone). read more

There’s a good chance you’ve heard of Brad Hall…and if you haven’t, get ready to laugh.

Hall (if that’s even his real name) makes hilarious “sneaker review” videos on YouTube, poking fun at everything from sneaker unboxings to the way sneakerheads walk, and his latest video just might be his best.

Hall reviews the “Hare” Jordan VII’s, and well…you should just see for yourself.

If you enjoyed that as much as we did, you can check out the rest of Hall’s videos right here. read more

It’s story time.

Yes, I’m taking it back to preschool and telling a story. It involves a Travel Channel show host and a dope brand out of New York City. It’s fairly short, and pretty funny, and without further ado, I’ll get right to it.

As many readers of this site know, I’m a manager at a sneaker store. Which sneaker store I’m a manager of is not important. If you know me personally, you already know which store it is, and if you don’t you’ll probably run across me sooner or later. read more

What’s good, everyone?

It’s been a little over two weeks, so I figured the time was right for another update on what’s been going on.

I’m still cranking out dopeness over at KLX, and have written two more articles for them since my last update, one on travel essentials, and one on the new (and hilarious) Dipset home goods line. Yes, there is a Dipset home goods line. I can hardly believe it myself. The links to both articles are below if you’d like to check them out.

You read it right. The good folks over at Studiiyo23 won a “Best Of Minneapolis” award in the fashion category from the Minneapolis Award Program. Awards are given out every year to businesses that have achieved “exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category”. The full press release is available here if you’d like to read it.

This a big deal for our still-growing local sneaker community. The fact that a shop that’s so invested in our community has won an award that spans all of Minneapolis bodes very well for our future, and helps us stake our claim as an excellent sneaker scene. read more
