031110: FRIDAY 03.12.10 RELEASE & SATURDAY 03.13.10 RELEASES!!March 11, 2010 on 7:06 PM by chris|x| What’s good, fam! Pay close attention because there are a couple of really big releases this weekend-ONE TOMORROW (FRIDAY) and 2 ON SATURDAY. I feel like saying “don’t sleep” on any of these would be the overstatement of the year so I shall refrain, but I will say, people have been calling in anticipation for all 4 shoes that you will soon be seeing so there is a chance we may sell through them come monday. Just sayin’. NIKE MANNY PACQUIAO TRAINER SC 2010 LOW QS // FRIDAY, 03.12.10 RELEASE – KICKS/HI MAKALOA 1100A:
You already know. In lieu of his upcoming bout with Joshua Clottey this Saturday at Dallas Cowboys Stadium (an event within itself!!), Nike has put together a dope collection of gear (as seen on our KICKS/HI blog) and this Tranier SC 2010 Low. Again, the Nike design team stayed true to PacMan’s philipino heritage by utilizing the colors of his national flag: red, blue, yellow and white. The best thing about all these Pacquiao shoes is that Nike gets to showcase their latest trainer silhouettes to a target consumer that might not necessarily pick up a 2010 Trainer SC on the shelf in a regular black and white colorway. Marketing 101 in all its glory. Get your Manny PacMan Trainer SC 2010 Low TOMORROW (FRIDAY 03.12.10) at KICKS/HI MAkaloa. Doors open at 1100A. First come, first served. We only have limited sizes and quantities available. No holds or discounts on release product. CONVERSE FIRST STRING: CT ASYMMETRICAL OX & OS 74 ASYMMETRICAL OX for NUMBER (N)INE // SATURDAY, 03.13.10 RELEASE:
Converse First String: Number (N)ine CT Asymmetrical OX.
Converse First String: Number (N)ine OS 74 Asymmetrical OX. We are EXTREMELY PRIVILEGED to carry this highly anticipated collaboration between Converse First String and Takahiro Miyashita’s Number (N)ine label: “Converse worked closely with Takahiro to create his interpretations of the Chuck Taylor All Star and One Star shoes, which Takahiro considers ‘authentic and permanent’. Taking a hybrid approach, Takahiro chose to incorporate the asymmetrical lacing of the 1970 and ‘80s era Converse Odessa shoe into his design. The Odessa shoe, which was originally designed for running, was super innovative for its time and a shoe from the Converse archives that Takahiro has long admired. The collection includes an oxford version of the Chuck Taylor All Star shoe with premium deer skin, yellow shag suede uppers, asymmetrical lacing and a metallic gold star on the shoe’s heel. A One Star version is also available in premium deer skin white shag suede uppers, asymmetrical lacing and a silver metallic star on the shoe’s heel.” -CONVERSE First String. These are beautiful shoes. Straight up. This is that collectable, super limited (only 300 pairs in the entire US), styled out, high profile collab that you want to have up in your stacks-or better yet: pon your feet. I saw these firsthand a month ago and was bugging out on ‘em. I even had a weird dream that involved the yellow CT Asymmetrical OX, a box of Cheese-Its (which I hate), and a bowling alley-OK weird I know, but what I’m trying to say is that I never dreamt about a shoe in my life-that I can recall. You can pick up yours this Saturday, 03.13.10, exclusively in Hawaii at KICKS/HI Makaloa at 1100A. NIKE SB “PALM TREE” DUNK LOW – MARCH 2010 QUICKSTRIKE // SATURDAY, 03.13.10 RELEASE:
“The palm tree at the foot of the 2nd step of the big 4 (4 stair set) at Raoul Wallenberg Alternative High School in SF has played a supporting role in skateboarding since 1990. My Nike SB Dunk Low colorway is inspired by this little tree’s ‘twenty year anniversary’ in 2010/2011. The colorway draws a palette from the palm tree itself while utilizing hemp for the Swoosh. The white midsole represents the step and has a visible “waxed ledge” around the top of it, just like that step at Wallenberg. Lastly, the insoles each contain a pixelated image of the palm tree itself, giving a nod to all of the times it has appeared in skate videos over the years.” -Bob Kronbauer (designer of the “Palm Tree” Dunk Low SB). Sometimes there’s never any story with some of the colorways that come out and sometimes there’s stories that don’t necessarily need to be told. This story is like a funny ancedote to me because its on some skate nerd status, which is something I definitely do when I watch skate videos. I used to try and find all the music from all the videos I really liked: i.e. “Questionable”, “Da Deal is Dead”, “Useless Wooden Toys”, “Mouse”, etc. That’s a good way to get your music horizons broadened. The “Palm Tree” Dunk Low SB QS is available Saturday, 03.13.10 at KICKS/HI Makaloa. ———————————————- ALOHA & MAHALOBACK, RANDOM TOP 5 // THURS. 03/11: 1.

Brand new product came in over the weekend that we think might be of interest to y’all: new Crooks, new Manny Pacquiao tees by Nike and a new SB signature shoe for Omar Salazar. NIKE SB OMAR SALAZAR SIGNATURE SHOE // SATURDAY, 031310 RELEASE:
A new mid-cut silhouette from SB for team rider Omar Salazar. Its definitely one of those shoes that looks a lot better on than on the shelf. I like this shoe-its not super teched out or too simple. The flywire technology in the heel upper keeps the shoe lightweight wihtout losing support. There is a zippered stash pocket in the tongue for a house key and money for a soda and a sandwich. Available this Saturday, 031310 at KICKS/HI Makaloa. NIKE for MANNY PACQUIAO T-SHIRTS:
For the upcoming bout between Manny Pacquiao and Johua Clottey this Saturday, 031310 at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Texas, Nike has rolled out new Pac-Man graphic tees.

Available in mens sizes S-XXL (size availability varies by design). CROOKS & CASTLES SPRING ‘10:
Crooks comes with more dope pieces for Spring: boardshorts and a lightweight cotton button up varsity jacket. The boardshorts feature a military green bandana print or trunk print. Both shorts have adjustable velcro waist straps and dual mesh back pockets. The varsity jacket is in a standout black with white details-with one of the best details being in the back print that lists “HONOLULU” amongst the likes of LA, NYC and Manila. Now available at KICKS/HI Makaloa.

Lightning just struck you twice. Brand new arrivals releasing this Saturday, 03.06.10. Check it out. KICKS/HI GUAM “ESTA” NEW ERA FITTED CAP // SATURDAY, 030610 RELEASE:
Little brother KICKS/HI GUAM steps out with their first New Era release. Awww so precious! Its like watching your kid take its first steps. I’m beaming with pride. “Esta” (’sta) : a widely used Chamorro term translated: “Okay”. Its used to conclude any conversation with good friends and family-usually, followed with the infamous “Okay” hand gesture (thumb & Index forming “O” with 3 fingers up). “Esta” is an equivalent to: “shoots”, “Aloha”, “Yup”, “Got it”, “Laters” and/or “Goodbye”. Get yours this Saturday at KICKS/HI Makaloa. SAINT ALFRED SPRING 2010 T-SHIRTS // SATURDAY, 030610 RELEASE:
Your favorite shop’s favorite shop Saint Alfred comes with another extra strong set of graphic tees for their Spring 2010 offering. The STA line has always been a personal favorite of mine (all home team biases aside). Clean, timeless logos, good themes for every collection…it just feels like more than just a shop t-shirt brand. It may not be bigger than hip-hop, but its a great brand. All tees shown are available this Saturday at KICKS/HI Makaloa. Hawaii exclusive style. STUSSY x HAZE for PRO-KEDS // SATURDAY, 030610 RELEASE:
This Saturday, we are proud to release these dope Stussy x Haze for Pro-Keds Royal Lo’s. 3 colorways: Black, Taupe and Grey. Each shoe is unique because the Haze designed canvas upper is cut from a large roll, which insures individuality throughout each and every shoe. Fun! Get yours this Saturday, 030610 at KICKS/HI Makaloa. Limited sizes available, and ladies, we ordered some smaller mens’ sizes for you as well. ———————————————- ALOHA & MAHALOBACK, RANDOM TOP 5 // FRI. 03/04: 1. gangstarr “mostly the voice” 030410: NIKE SB MARCH ‘10 x VANS VAULT MARCH ‘10 x NIKE MANNY PACMAN HOODIE x JANSPORTMarch 4, 2010 on 11:30 AM by chris|x| What’s good, fam! This week has been a major one for deliveries as we are now officially: AT CAPACITY with the arrival of new Nike SB March ‘10 shoes, Vans Vault/California Collection Spring ‘10 shoes, Jansport backpacks, Nike Manny Pacquiao sportswear, Vans Classics shoes, Stussy Spring ‘10 cut and sew….and that’s just off the top of the domepiece, homepiece! NIKE SB MARCH ‘10:
The obvious standout here is the “green leaf” Bruin for its retro-tastic styling.I personally like the Dunk High SB in grey suede w/ red midsole and blue outsole because it feels like some of the early SB Dunk Highs. Good stuff all around. NIKE “MANNY PACQUIAO” ZIP-UP HOODIE:
Real clean zip-up Nike Manny Pac-Man hoodie featuring an embroidered “MP” logo on the right chest (when wearing). Other than that, no other branding-just a simple, clean hoodie. Get yours at KICKS/HI Makaloa. Limited sizes available. VANS VAULT SPRING ‘10 SHOES:
A ridiculously detailed (in the best way possible) Vault Half Cab LX, which has a epi/ridged midsole (nice touch!) and buttery nubuck upper, black crushed, velvet tongue (done in a snake scale pattern). These are both hot colorways because they aren’t straight forward red or blues-its a muted pastel tone that really works. Available in Hawaii exclusively at KICKS/HI Makaloa.
A vibrant, lake blue Vans Vault-California Collection Authentic CA with a herringbone upper. How Vans got this Herringbone color is beyond me-unless they dyed fabric. Eye poppin’-to say the least! Another one you can only find in Hawaii at our Makaloa door.
These beauties are geared (sorry bad pun) towards our pedal pushin’ brehtren. Vans Vault-California Collection Era “45 CA Fixed”. The heel upper is reflective 3M; as well as partial sewn in strips on the shoelaces. Very safe AND stylin’. Double whammy! KICKS/HI Makaloa has a limited amount of pairs in these right now. JANSPORT SPRING ‘10 BACKPACKS:
This “Wayback” Jansport heritage fun-sack sold out the first time we brought it in last fall, and to meet the demand for more we re-upped. Get yours now at KICKS/HI Ward. Jansport Heritage pieces are all built off of the OG Jansport DNA.
Another re-up from the Jansport Heritage line: the “Westridge” sold out within a couple of days when we had them the first time around. American classic aesthetics. Rugged canvas upper with leather bottom. Phone orders accepted: 808.941.9191.
A couple of nice interpretations of Jansport’s “Right Pack” and “Kegger” backpacks from their “Urban Framework” line. The backpacks come with padded shoulder straps, metal zipper pulls, and a whole lot of style. ———————————————- ALOHA & MAHALOBACK, RANDOM TOP 5 // THURS. 03/04: 1. gangstarr “above the clouds” VANS CLASSICS.March 3, 2010 on 2:49 AM by chris
