Don’t Be A Keyboard Warrior!
Do you spend most of your free time flipping through Facebook sneaker groups and trying to think of smart-ass comments to leave on people’s posts even though you very rarely buy or sell anything? Do you frantically grab for your phone every time you see the notification light go off? Are you one of those guys who hasn’t met 75% of the people they consider “friends” face-to-face? If so, then you just might be a keyboard warrior, and I’m here to help.
Although it might be enjoyable being the funny guy online who’s always wisecracking about Niketalk denim, someone’s blurry struggle sneaker picture, or how someone got fleeced in a trade, in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t do any good for the culture that we all love. This is not by any means to say that there’s no place for it, but it’s not a real contribution.

Sneak Peek: Jordan XIV “Black Toe”
With tomorrow’s release of the Jordan XIV “Black Toe”, the KicksOneTwo staff thought we’d bring you a few pictures. Although the quality of the material on the toe (some weird sort of suede/nubuck) isn’t great, the leather is not half bad. Are you planning to cop? Let us know in the comments.

Thoughts On The Pharrell x Adidas Collaboration
I’ll come right out and say it: I’m a Pharrell stan. I’m inspired by his constant creativity, and how he seems to be successful in just about everything that he does. From Billionaire Boys Club (which happens to be one of my favorite brands), to the “Perspective” chair he designed, to his classic production on old Clipse records, to the neo-funk-soul-whatever the hell kind of music it is on his most recent album Girl, I’m of the opinion that most things he has a hand in wind up coming out great.

TCSAX 4 Recap
On September 14th, 2014, the Minnesota sneaker community gathered at the Cabooze for the fourth installment of Studiiyo23‘s sneaker convention, the Twin Cities Sneaker Art Xchange (TCSAX for short). With a varied crowd of sneakerheads, artists, musicians and more, it was an afternoon to remember.
Even the Vikings home opener didn’t stop the community from turning out.
Niles and Taylor from Create Karma were in the building with a table full of new headwear, t-shirts, button-ups and sweatshirts.

Brooks Chariot: Will It Work?
If you run, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve heard of Brooks. They’ve been in business for over a hundred years, and make all different kinds of great running shoes, from the stable Adrenaline GTS series to the ultra-cushioned Glycerin, to the very lightweight and minimal PureFlow . However, Brooks is now trying to make a foray into a whole new market. That’s right, they’re coming after the sneakerheads with the Chariot “Merlot”.
The Chariot “Merlot” shoe, a collaboration with Boston-based retailer Concepts will be released later today. With retro runners being all the rage in the sneaker world right now, it seems like a smart move. Might as well bring out a classic model, let a well-respected shop with a history of hit collaborations throw a fresh coat of paint and premium materials on it and see what happens, right? Here’s an image of the kicks below if you haven’t had a chance to see them yet.
