Fragment I’s Spotted At Minnesota Marshalls

FRAGMENT I’S HAVE BEEN SPOTTED IN A MINNESOTA MARSHALLS.

Yes, you read the headline right. The Fragment Jordan I’s that have been popping up for a mind-bogglingly low price of $59.99 at Marshalls have came to the North, as a few pairs were spotted at the Mall Of America  yesterday.

The sneakerhead (who’s name will remain anonymous to protect his privacy) who found them walked into the store Thursday morning, and happened upon three pairs chilling on the shelves, for the low price of $59.99. Needless to say, he immediately purchased all three and had them flipped a few hours later, as they weren’t his size. read more

Lift Off With Jordan’s Recently Announced “Take Flight” Pack

air-jordan-take-flight-pack-release-date-info-01

From their early days, Air Jordans have always taken a lot of inspiration from fighter planes. From the P51 Mustang inspiration on the V’s to the stealth jet-esque look on the XV’s, the rulers of the sky have always held weight when it comes to the thought process behind Jordan designs.

It should come as no surprise then that the three-shoe “Take Flight” pack releasing in early 2017 is heavily inspired by flight and flying as well. The black IV’s and their stealth-jet inspired design lead off the pack, while the V’s and the VIII’s (with am upper incorporating neoprene for the first time ever) are inspired by old-school olive bomber jackets worn by pilots. read more

2017: The Year Of The Jordan VI

air-jordan-6-pantone-gs-4

Word to them Jordans out the 6ix.

Pardon us for the terrible Aubrey Graham reference … but we’re gassed on all the Jordan VI’s that are releasing in 2017. It seems that Jordan Brand picks a shoe to focus on every year, and as the VI is one of our favorite models, we couldn’t be more stoked that it’s their pick for 2017.

The releases will be coming in fast and furious starting in January, and both men’s and grade school sizes will receive an abundance of new heat. New colorways of Jordans have been sub-par recently, so it’s good to see Jordan Brand getting back on track with the schemes and designs. read more

R.I.P. Craig Sager

920x920

The NBA lost a great personality on Thursday. A man who loved the game of basketball. A man who was ready to interview at any given moment. A man who was as known for his loud and crazy outfits (that he somehow managed to make work time and time again) just as much as he was known for his interviews.

Craig Sager, the legendary NBA On TNT sideline reporter passed away at the age of 65 due to complications from his battle with cancer.

The outpouring of love and support from the NBA family was heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. Sager left a great impact on the players as well as his NBA On TNT co-workers, and was as much a part of the game as anyone else. read more

Matthew Dellavedova’s New Shoe Commercial Is Hilariously Awkward

You can’t not love Matthew Dellavadova. He’s a grinder. He’s a hard worker. He doesn’t quit. He’s a guy who gets by more on sheer will and hard work than athleticism. He can shoot pretty well too. He stepped up in the 2015 NBA Finals when Kyrie Irving went down with an injury and helped a battered Cavs team take two from the Warriors by playing tough defense and hitting threes. He signed a 4-year, $38 million dollar deal with the Milwaukee Bucks this offseason, an extremely impressive achievement for any NBA player … especially one who wasn’t drafted. read more

Anwar Carrots Can Do No Wrong

anwar-carrots-brooks-beast-collab-1

We’re huge Carrots By Anwar Carrots fans here at KicksOneTwo. Anwar’s brand has developed an unmistakable signature aesthetic (with a whole lot of orange), has been rocked by everyone from Lil Yachty to Madeintyo, has collabbed with everyone from Alt Med to Rare Panther, and is truly on the come-up.

However, their most recent power move might just be their biggest yet. Anwar and Brooks have come together for a collaborative Beast (one of Brooks’s most iconic running shoes) done up in an orange, navy, and white colorway. It’s classic retro runner style meets modern streetwear … and it looks absolutely great. Anwar’s done it again. read more

The Original Blue Toe Question Is Back!

reebok-question-mid-og-blue-toe-release-date-11

You read the title right. The Question is back … and it’s not just another overdone new colorway. It’s back in its first and very best color. The color Allen Iverson wore during his Rookie Of The Year season in 1996. The color he took the NBA by storm in. The color he wore while crossing over Michael Jordan, in arguably the most famous moment of his career. It’s a must-cop for any AI fan.

The shoe has aged quite well. It brings back classic mid-90’s nostalgia but still looks fresh enough for the streets or sturdy enough for the courts in 2016, 20 years after the original release (can you believe it’s already been that long? We can’t). read more

Opening Ceremony x Vans Mono Pack: FIRE

vans-opening-ceremony-mono-pack-holiday-2-16-1

Vans and Opening Ceremony. Two powerhouses. Two brands that do what they want, even if some people don’t rock with it (remember when Nick Young said Opening Ceremony should be called Closing Ceremony?). Two brands that just came together for a fire collab. Two brands that just came together for a “Mono” pack, consisting of Old Skools, Sk8-Hi’s and Prison Issues.

vans-opening-ceremony-mono-pack-holiday-2-16-8

All the shoes in the pack are clean, wearable, and dressed in high-quality monochromatic leather. Even though they were born as skate shoes, Vans have always managed to look very high fashion-esque when dripped in premium materials. You can’t tell us that these don’t look like a high-end shoe! read more
