Here at KicksOneTwo, we’re all about doing whatever we can to move our culture forwards. We’re thrilled when opportunities present themselves for those in our community, and that’s why we’re happy to see that the good folks over at Scotty Piff are opening their own retail location on September 1st.

The grand opening of the store will be from 12pm-8pm, and the first 100 customers through the door will get laced with a free t-shirt.With lots of consignment kicks and clothing, there’s sure to be something for everyone over at the shop. read more

Here at KicksOneTwo, we love the Loud original series Detroit Rubber. Getting a behind the scenes look at what the folks over at the legendary Burn Rubber sneaker shop are doing is always enjoyable. It’s interesting to see what goes on day-to-day at a famous sneaker shop, and the first episode of the second season focuses on the Burn Rubber boys working with members of the University of Michigan’s Fab 5 freshmen. Check out the video below, and enjoy!

Need some new gear for school this year? Just feeling a hankering for some new stuff? If so you’re in luck because the two most prominent sneaker and streetwear boutiques in Minnesota are having great sales this week. Both Studiiyo23 and Phenom are marking down everything from sneakers to shirts. Check the fliers below to see what the deals are, and be sure to support great local businesses!

Yesterday, Complex uploaded a humorous video in which various women from Vashtie to Emily Oberg  with knowledge of sneakers and sneaker culture shared their opinions on sneaker-obsessed guys. It’s a fairly hilarious video, and if you haven’t seen it, you’re cheating yourself out of a laugh or two. Check it out here!

Looking to get some custom kicks done? Ever wondered what it would be like to watch a customizer work? Then you’re in luck.

This last week, the good folks over at Studiiyo23 announced a partnership with Salvatore Marcum of Minneapolis Customs. All Minneapolis Customs requests will now be handled through Studiiyo23, and if you want to inquire about a pair of custom kicks, you can get in touch with Salvatore and the Studiiyo23 team at customs@studiiyo23.com!

With the best sneaker customizer and the best sneaker store in the state joining forces, something dope is sure to come out of this collaboration. Check out the two different customs that have already been completed, the “Last Ferrari” 14’s and the “Matte Black” 14’s below. read more

Here at KicksOneTwo, we feel it’s important to keep you up to day on the latest goings-on in our local sneaker community. The team decided last week that the best way to inform our readers about what’s going on would be to tweak the calendar, and make it more focused on what’s going on locally. It might take a week or two for us to optimize this, and it might be a work in progress, but it will be better! We ask for your patience as we try to improve the calendar and make it the best it can be. read more
