Corniness in the Sneaker World

If you’ve been on the internet at all the last few weeks, you know the Yeezy Boost 350 has been the topic of conversation. Everywhere you look you see people selling Yeezy’s, buying Yeezy’s, talking about the quality of Yeezy’s, and complaining about resell prices of Yeezy’s. Yeezy fever has even hit KicksOneTwo’s own Ross who couldn’t help but post this ignorant, yet super funny picture on Twitter the other day.

We’ve all seen pictures of corny stuff done with sneakers before. You know, the pictures where people put Oreo 5’s next to a box of Oreo’s, Grape 5’s on a tree (even though grapes grow on bushes…) or Bred 11’s next to an actual loaf of bread. Granted, some of these pictures are jokes, but its funny to know that there are dudes who actually think that that play on words is going to help them stunt on the ‘gram. Clowns. read more

A Quick Guide To High-End Sneakers

So you’ve got a pretty good shoe collection. You’ve got love for everything from classics like a Jordan I to the latest and greatest in performance basketball shoes like a LeBron XII. You know what shoes to wear when, and you feel like you’ve got a shoe for almost any situation.

But there’s just one small thing that you can’t help but feel like you’re missing out on. You want a sneaker that you can wear when it’s time to dress up a little bit. You are a sneakerhead, after all. Wearing loafers or wingtips just isn’t your style. read more

Who’s Paying Resale Prices??

Earlier this week, I was perusing the digital shelves of Flight Club, as I so often do in my spare time. I was enjoying checking out everything from recent Flyknit releases to classic mid-00’s SB heat, when I thought I’d take a look at what the Yeezy 350 Boosts (which I acquired last weekend) were hitting for.

When I clicked over to their page, and saw that a size 9 (the size I’m in posession of and have already worn…yeah I copped to rock) was going for a cool $1,250 I wasn’t exactly surprised, but a few questions did come to my mind, the main one being this: Who the fuck is paying that much for a pair of shoes?? read more

Yeezy season.

This last weekend, Ross was lucky enough to grab a pair of the Yeezy Boost 350’s online, and you know we had to get some snaps as soon as they arrived. Enjoy the pictures, and if you’re in the market for a pair, head to eBay or Flight Club…and make sure your wallet is ready.

Limited Kicks: When To Rock & When To Sell

It finally happened.

You got lucky either online or on a raffle, and you copped a pair of valuable limited kicks. You’re already daydreaming about how all your friends are going to be jealous when you roll up to the function in your new pair, and you can’t help but imagine stunting on all the GR-wearing suckers at the mall too.

But then you start thinking about something else.

You’ve seen the same shoes on eBay. People are paying $700, $800, even over $1,000. That’s a lot of money for a pair of shoes. You start thinking about what you could do with that money, but you’re still not sure if you’re ready to pull the trigger and sell. read more
