3 Designer Shoes You Can (Easily) Work Into Your Rotation

Designer kicks. Although many sneakerheads possess a rudimentary knowledge of them and what they’re about, they can seem like a foreign concept. They’re expensive. Some of them are garish. They don’t look like what we’re used to if we’re into Jordans or Adidas.

Thankfully, designer sneakers don’t have to be a foreign concept. There are several simple, clean models that you can work into your rotation without overexerting yourself. The price may be a little high, but you’ve got to remember you’re paying for and receiving the finest quality. Here’s 3 designer shoes that can easily find a place in your rotation. read more

Yeezy Season 3 Review/Thoughts

kanye-211-tmagArticle

Woah.

That’s about all I can say right now. I’m back at the crib after the Yeezy Season 3 showing, and I’m still trying to wrap my head around everything I saw. If I had to describe it in one word, I’d say it was “dense”. There were a lot of different things going on, from new music, to new clothes, to celebrities and artists galore.

So I’m going to hit you with a recap of my experiences and give you my thoughts on the show and everything that went down, starting with when we arrived. It was an event to remember, and remember it I sure do. read more

Kylie Jenner Is Joining Puma?

kylie-jenner-cb4c305b-10a7-474e-b847-fd6224937b7a

We’re big Puma fans over here at KicksOneTwo. Everything from the classic Suedes to the recent collaborative Disc Blazes they did with Bape, we’re with it. Puma is a classic brand, and they’ll always be respected for their impact on the sportswear and sneaker games.

However they’ve been going through a rough patch recently, and they just can’t seem to stop taking L’s. Their shoes always seem to be on sale (the whole Puma website and all their retail locations were 50% off everything for a long stretch), and the moves they’ve been making on a creative level don’t seem to be making any sense. read more

Cop Your Grails

carhartt-eminem-jordan-4-1

Everyone’s got a pair of grail sneakers. For some, it might be something that’s crazy limited, like these Eminem x Carhartt Jordan IV’s pictured above. For some, it might be a rare shoe from their childhood that they missed out on. For some it might be a sample or PE that wasn’t ever released. No matter what the shoe might be, we’ve all got one or two. And you should cop yours.

“Cop your grails?” you might be saying. “That’s not possible”. It is though (unless you want something like the IV’s above. Then it might be a stretch), and you can do it with more ease than you might think. read more

Talkin’ Kicks: Why Being Outgoing Makes Sneakerheading More Fun

SNEAKER-CON-MIAMI-2013101

Sneakerheads are outgoing and reserved in equal measures. Some like nothing better than to talk kicks and anything related to them, while some would rather keep their sneaker habit to themselves, and would rather surf the web looking at whatever sneaker site breaks the news about a new release first.

Both being outgoing and keeping to yourself are perfectly fine, but there’s something to be said for being outgoing, especially when it comes to shoes. You can learn a lot, share your thoughts and opinions with others who share the same interests, and maybe even make a new friend or two in the process. read more

It’s Almost Here: Yeezy Season 3 Launch Event

kanye

You were probably like us today. On your computer, frantically typing in your info to secure your tickets to the live-stream premiere of Kanye West’s Yeezy Season 3 and new album “Waves” (assuming he doesn’t change the title again) from Madison Square Garden.

Maybe you just copped the ticket. Maybe you copped a ticket/album package. Maybe you copped the ticket/album/t-shirt package (that’s what I grabbed). Maybe you balled out and got the full “Yeezy” package (ticket, album, tee, hoodie, and jean jacket). read more

The OG Cement IV’s Will Be Widely Available, And That’s A Good Thing

white-cement-air-jordan-4-og-nike-air-5

You’re probably thirsty already. February 13th can’t come soon enough. You NEED these OG Cement IV’s with “Nike Air” boldly emblazoned on the back. They’re an absolute must. You might even need two pairs.

Well, you’ll get your chance to get two pairs. Just call around and ask your local Foot Locker, Champs, or Finish Line….pretty much every store is going to be getting them.

This of course has the old heads up in arms. They’ll tell you how hard it used to be to get Jordans with Nike Air on the back. They’ll tell you these young bucks don’t know what they’re getting (that might be right). Whatever they tell you, there will likely be one common theme: they won’t be too happy with it. read more
