So you want to sell some kicks.

You need some quick cash, but you don’t have the time to sell the kicks yourself. Craigslist, posting in sneaker groups, all that other internet stuff? Who’s got the time for that? You certainly don’t.

Thankfully you’ve got another option: consignment. Let a shop do the work for you by displaying and marketing your kicks, and reap the rewards when your kicks sell. It’s a pretty simple process, but can be slightly confusing for anyone who hasn’t done it before, so we’ve got a simple guide to get you started. Let’s go get you some money. read more

Here’s three things that aren’t so great in the sneaker game.

People Constantly Talking About Kanye

Sure, we talk about Ye’ a bunch over here at KicksOneTwo. Nothing wrong with that at all. However, it gets annoying when people try to act holier than thou by saying, “Oh, Kanye wore Vans, I suppose you all like Vans now??” Or, “If Kanye wore a sequined shirt and some bell-bottom jeans, I guess that’s what all of you would start wearing too, huh??” read more
