KICKS/HI NEWSLETTER (10/28).

|x| What’s good, fam! First off, thank you thank you thank you for all your purchases, kind words and support of our latest Converse x KICKS/HI ‘Tiger Camo’ Chuck Taylor High! That is one of the best releases we have EVER had, and it garnered the most attention globally than almost any project we have undertaken over the past 10 years! Needless to say, we are excited and humbled by all the press and attention. Its still very, very cool that we even have the opportunity to work with all these great companies. Every project/collab we do has the excitement like its our first ever. So again, thank you all so much, and congratulations to the 10 winners of our KICKS/HI facebook fan pagecontest! Over 2,000+ entries over 5 days almost exploded my laptop trying to sort through who “liked” our fan page + answered the question correctly, but we got it sorted and winners will be receiving their pair of the sold-out KICKS/HI Chucks in the next week or so! Special thanks to Converse for their continued support of the shop and all of our endeavors over the years and the years to come! Salute x Shakas.

CONVERSE FIRST STRING – STRAIGHT SHOOTER HIGH / SATURDAY (10/29) RELEASE:

The Straight Shooter continues to be a breakout hit silhouette this year. Its pretty easy to throw a wild colorways with bells and whistles on a retro sneaker and call it a day, but to create a simplified, silhouette that infuses technology (sewn in Lunarlon insole) is much harder to pull off. That is why there is only one Hermes and lots of Forever 21 type shops. Here, the Striaght Shooter gets the hi-top treatment, and it is a winner. I absolutely dig the toe cap that ventures off around the side of the shoe, and that triangular section midway up the eyelets is a good visual break in the upper. Super clean execution, and it looks OUTSTANDING with shorts or a nice slimfit chino.
Available tomorrow at 11A at KICKS/HI Makaloa – with remaining pairs available for phone order beginning Monday (All Hallows Eve): 808.941.9191.

CONVERSE by JOHN VARVATOS – CHUCK TAYLOR PREMIUM HI:

This silver over-painted Chuck Taylor Hi by John Varvatos would strike fear in the heart of any vampire, but hopefully you just haven’t visited the dentist in like 14 years and those are just teeth that need a little bit of work so that you can actually like these shoes a lot. The square cut leather laces are a perfect match with the upper treatment. Another premium selection from the Varvatos collection.
Available in the shop or via phone order now: 808.941.9191

aNYthing – FALL ’11 DELIVERY 1:

YES! New aNYthing in the building! Woo hoo! Love this brand. We have proudly stocked and supported Aron the Don and the aNYthing fam since before they were even a brand. Crew love, yo. More pics of the new Fall aNYthing arrivals as they come through. BTW, get those socks before they are ghost!
Available in the shop or via phone order now: 808.941.9191

PLAY CLOTHS – FALL ’11 DELIVERY 1:

What Play Cloths does really well overall is running graphic elements/stories back through different pieces in their line every season. Sometimes a tee graphic will also be available on a snapback cap, and then a part of that graphic is referenced as an embroidery on a longsleeve button-up or a varsity jacket. I like when I see continuity like that because it shows cohesiveness as a brand. Like its not just a bunch of designs just thrown together. Play Cloths has been one of the most popular lines we have stocked over the past couple years. Good stuff as always.
Available in the shop or via phone order now: 808.941.9191
