The Star Tribune Is Off Base With Their Recently Published Sneaker Article

I enjoy reading the Star Tribune.

People seem to be content to receive the news on their phone or just watch it on the TV more than ever nowadays, but for me there’s still something primally satisfying about actually opening up the paper and seeing what’s going on in the world today. The sports section, the local section, the world section…I read them all.

However, I don’t agree with articles that they publish every so often, and they recently released an article that was rather irksome to me. read more

KicksOneTwo News: Instagram And New Logo!

What’s good, KicksOneTwo fam?

We’ve got two big pieces of news to kick off the week, and we’re excited and proud to share them with you!

For starters, after a long hiatus, we’re finally on Instagram! You heard it right, the KicksOneTwo instagram is up and running, and you can check it out right here! We’ll be bringing you a bunch of dope sneaker photos, and if you use the #kicksonetwo hashtag, we might even share your post!

Secondly…we’ve got a new logo! It’s been a good run with the basic logo we had, but switching it up was long overdue. Our good friend Taylor created two dope new logos for us that you’ll be seeing on stickers and shirts (as well as our website and Instagram, of course). Check them out! read more

All About Samples

#Samples, #PlayerExclusive, #BOMGang and my personal favorite, #SampleLife.

If you’ve followed any big sample collectors on Instagram, I’m sure you’ve seen a few of these hashtags used. I’m guilty of using them myself. (I still think claiming #SampleLife and #BOMGang is hilarious).

For those that don’t know much about me and my shoe collection, I can say that I dabble in the sample game. I’m not one of those guys that’s looking for and buying samples and samples only, but I’m not one to turn down a dope pair for a good price, even more so if they’re Kobes (some of my favorite shoes). read more

The Art of Complimenting Someone’s Shoes

So you’re walking through the mall, checking out all the stores have to offer with a dope fit on and a fresh pair of kicks on your feet. Aww yeah, it’s an un-deadstock kind of day. You stroll past the shops with a certain aura of confidence around you. You’re stunting on everyone and you know it. As you walk around, you smile at the fact that people’s eyes always seem to hit the ground when they pass you. You’re breaking everyone’s necks today. (If you haven’t realized yet, you’re having a pretty good day). read more

What I’ve Been Doing Recently Part V

What’s good, everyone? (I feel like I’m obligated to start these pieces with “what’s good” at this point!)

Back for the monthly check-in, and to fill all of you in on what I’ve been doing recently. There’s been a LOT going on since the last time I touched base with everyone, and even more coming in the future, so I’m really excited to bring you all up to speed.

First off, as you probably noticed within the last few weeks, we’ve got a new contributor here on KicksOneTwo, my dude Emil (or Bobby if you prefer) Cienik. He’s been blessing you with gems on everything from corniness in the sneaker world to bandwagon sneaker fans for the past few days, and he’ll be bringing you more content very soon! read more
