triple stitching is BACK


Kickers are officially back on the street, the retro kick-hi boot that patented Kickers throughout the last 40 years is THE new shoe. Designed by Jacques Chevallereau and made to be worn with denim, the boots rapidly established the Kickers brand.




For our first project in our second year  we have to find three extremely stylish people who in our judgement are opinion formers, its their job to get Kick-hi boots their street-cred back. Kickers DNA is extremely distinguished; a chunky sole, the rivets, triple stitching, red/green tabs and the classic fleurette tag being placed religiously on each pair.

In the 90's Kickers were found on the music scene, especially in Manchester with the likes of Noel Gallagher and Jarvis Cocker regularly seen sporting a pair of Kick-hi's; this got taken over in the 'noughties' by the U.K garage scene. Members of So Solid crew were also big fans of the shoe.

Kickers has tried to restablish itself as a stylish brand in recent years without much success, our aim is put Kickrers firmly back on the fashion map and we will tell our story via this blog as we DO IT!
