For this edition of Music Mondays we bring you a feel-good summer track, meant to be bumped in the car with the windows down. It’s very likely you’ve heard this before, but if not, here’s your chance to get familiar. Here’s Dr. Dre‘s “Xxplosive” featuring Hittman, Kurupt, Nate Dogg, and Six-Two.

It seems to be somewhat common nowadays to hate on popular sneakers. Be it the Carmine 6’s that released a few weeks back or honestly any Jordan 11, you’ll hear people saying stuff like “Those aren’t even sick. Everyone’s got them” or “I don’t see what’s really all that crazy about those”.
I’m not entirely sure why we do this. It’s honestly almost hipster-ish in nature. You don’t like something because everyone else has got it? So what? Would you think it’s fresh if it was more limited and other people didn’t have it?
For this week’s Starting Five, we bring you KicksOneTwo homie Alex‘s rotaton. With dope Jordans and  Nikes (plus a great Mississippi River backdrop!), this was a very enjoyable rotation to shoot. Enjoy!
1. Nike KD 6 EXT “Floral”
KD is one of my favorite players, and this is my favorite KD from this year. The floral print is crazy, and you can’t go wrong with an icy sole.
2. Jordan 11 “Bred”
Can’t go wrong with the Breds. They’re a classic shoe that looks good with anything. The patent leather gets me every time.
If you’re like me, “getting out” of the sneaker game has crossed your mind once or twice. Maybe it’s your frustration with price increases that make an already expensive hobby almost impossible to afford. Maybe it’s missing out on a shoe due to bots. Maybe it’s a reseller charging outrageous prices for a sneaker that just came out.
All of the annoyances listed above are very frustrating, and valid reasons to question why you do this. However, I thought it might be enjoyable to delve a little bit deeper, and see when you might really want to stop collecting, as opposed to when you’re just frustrated with an aspect of the game.
This last weekend, KicksOneTwo Creative Editor Jahmade was lucky enough to get his hands on a pair of the Jordan VI “Champagne”. Here’s a few quick snaps of the highly-sought after sneaker.
For today’s Kick Pic, we bring you a dope shot of Jahmade rocking the Jordan 1 SB’s
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.
For today’s edition of Music Mondays, we bring you a classic Logic track. If you’re a fan, his “While You Wait” tour in town at the Varsity Theater tonight with Quest and Castro.
