Music
Welcome to the music section!
As music is a large part of our sneaker culture, we felt that it was necessary to include a music section on KicksOneTwo. You’ll hear dope tracks from artists both local and national, and possibly some staff musings or discussion on music as well!

Kick Pics: Jordan Future “Volt”
It was a successful weekend for the KicksOneTwo staff in terms of new pickups. I was able to grab a pair of the Jordan Futures in the “Volt” colorway, while Jahmade was able to grab the camo colorway (pics of those coming soon!)
If you’re looking to get your hands on a pair, the good folks over at Studiiyo23 still have a few in stock!
I think the Future will be a great summer sneaker due to its lightweight upper and vibrant colors. Without further ado, here’s a few snaps! Enjoy.

What Makes Somebody A Sneakerhead?
There’s no dictionary definition for “sneakerhead”. You could ask ten different people what they thought, and you’d very likely get ten different answers. There are lots of different types of folks with different levels of interest in shoes, so how do you determine who’s a “sneakerhead” and who isn’t? Here’s my two cents on the topic.
In my opinion, the main requirement is that you have to have a certain level of knowledge on the topic. Anyone can use their money to buy a bunch of sneakers, but what sets someone who’s a real head apart from someone who just owns a lot of shoes is what they know. It’s like the difference between a person who owns a nice camera and an actual photographer. There’s a level of knowledge that’s required. If you can speak intellegently on sneaker history, the sneaker culture currently, and where you think the culture is going in the future, that means you’re more invested in the culture as a whole as opposed to someone who just mindlessly consumes.

Starting Five: KicksOneTwo Founder Ross Dwyer
Welcome to the first post of a new segment we’re excited to bring to you: the Starting Five.
The idea behind the Starting Five is to showcase the five sneakers that are in someone’s rotation, and give them a chance to explain why they’ve been rocking said sneakers so much.
I thought I’d get everything started, so here are the five kicks that are currently in my rotation!
1. Nike Flyknit Trainer: Flyknit has become my favorite Nike technology. These are a great summer shoe, very lightweight and comfy. The all-over multicolor Flyknit upper really works with any type of fit.

The Material Dilemma
Although this article is similar in nature to the valuable sneakers piece that was put on the site on Sunday, I still thought it was a topic worth touching on.
Sometimes it’s hard being so attracted to material things. A lot of people don’t understand it. “You have how many sneakers?” they say. “You spent how much on that pair of sneakers?” they say. “You know they’re just sneakers, right?” they say. Usually someone like that is easy to ignore, but sometimes it can get bothersome.

KicksOneTwo Trip: Adam’s Storage Locker, Part 2
Adam Westermann has a lot of sneakers. So many, in fact, that we had to write two posts. Our first visit to Adam’s storage locker, if you missed it, is here. Now here are the rest of the pictures from Adam’s locker (assorted Nikes, New Balance, Asics, Jordans, and a pair of Adidas too). Enjoy!
Huge thanks to Adam for letting us come out and shoot all the dope kicks in his locker! Checking out a diverse collection is always a good time.

Kick Pics: Asics Gel Lyte V “Brazil”
Last week, Ronnie Fieg tweeted out a link to a new Gel Lite V colorway that had dropped on the Kith website. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a pair, and they arrived today. They’re crazy in person, so I had to throw in the rope laces that were included and take a few snaps. Enjoy!
