The Great Debate: Bape Vs. Supreme
The clash of the titans. The battle of legends. The fight of juggernauts.
Bape vs. Supreme. The two most popular brands in street culture, one a high-end brand from Tokyo, the other a scrappy skate brand from New York City. Both rose from humble beginnings to become powerhouses. Both command an unreal amount of hype that other brands couldn’t muster up if they tried. Both have rabid (and sometimes overlapping) fanbases. They’ve even collaborated.
But which one would win if they went head to head? Who would come out on top in the battle of street culture titans? There’s only one way to find out: a three-round, head to head battle for the crown. Let’s get ready to rumble.

Wavy Wednesdays Is The Best Thing On Soundcloud Right Now
There are few things better than kicking around on Soundcloud. You can check for new releases from your favorite artists, find new music that you’ve never heard before, and set the vibe for your whole day. There’s a lot of good stuff on there.
However, there’s little debate that the best thing on Soundcloud right now is Wavy Wednesdays, courtesy of the A$AP Mob. Ever since February, artists from the Mob have been using the AWGE SHIT Soundcloud to drop new music.
If it’s an A$AP release, you already know it’s going to be quality, and the Mob has offered up everything from older, unreleased remixes like Rocky’s added verse on Drake’s “Wu-Tang Forever”, to bangers like Ferg’s “Trap Anthem”, featuring Migos.

I’m Legally Blind! Donna Goudeau T-Shirt Capsule Benefits Charity
(The Hol’ It Down Tee in Tan)
“I’m legally blind!” “P.O.P. hol’ it down!”
You remember the catchphrases. You remember the interview. You remember Donna Goudeau, loaded into the back of a police car and on her way to prison to start an 18-year sentence, dropping hilarious nugget after hilarious nugget in a news clip that went viral. You got your laughs out of it. You dismissed her and moved on.
The Internet is funny like that. Videos reach incredible levels of popularity and become ingrained in the pop culture landscape, only to be forgotten mere weeks (or sometimes even days) later.

“The Show” By Round 2 Is Incredibly Entertaining
Here at KicksOneTwo, YouTube is our Netflix. We love any quality original series about street culture you can find on their vast expanse of content, from Detroit Rubber to SVDDNXLY, and we always like to recommend our favorites to everyone we know.
Well, we’ve got a new favorite. “The Show” by Round 2 is all we’ve been watching these past few weeks, and we’re borderline-obsessed with it.
Here’s the quick backstory. Round 2 is a great vintage/consignment shop based in Richmond, VA. They’ve also got a location in LA, and they specialize in rare vintage gear from brands like Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger, while also offering practically every shoe you can think of, from Nike to Saucony. They buy and sell shoes and gear at a blistering pace, so there’s always something new and fresh to be found on their shelves. Even the internet gawd Ian Connor is a fan

Sneaker-Related Violence Is Absurd
I’ve got a lot of different emotions flowing as I write this article. I’m frustrated. I’m pissed. I’m upset. I’m confused. There was a shooting at a Foot Locker in Brooklyn Center yesterday (over a pair of the pink/white Jordan XII’s pictured above), and I’m sitting here wondering why this kind of shit is still happening.
I spoke to a young woman who says her brother was targeted, shot @ for purchasing a pair of Jordan's. He shot back. pic.twitter.com/YRCvsOEBA8

Soundset 2016: The Best Edition Yet?
Hip-hop fans the world over know: the Soundest festival is the shit. Year after year, they provide a great lineup and memorable experiences aplenty. And every year when the lineup is released, the debate begins. Is the lineup great? Is it top-heavy? Is the mix of artists right? Is this lineup the best one yet?
The debate rages on year after year…but this year might actually be the best. Let’s take a look at why, starting with the heavy hitters.
A$AP Rocky and Future are both A-list stars and could headline a festival on their own, but you’ll get to see a full set from both of them on the same day. That in and of itself would make the whole festival worth it, but then you’ll also get to see legends like The Roots (getting them away from The Tonight Show must have cost a pretty penny), and Common.
