KICKS/HI NEWSLETTER (02/02).

|x| What’s good, fam! Here we are post Blake Griffin’s dunk/hard throw in. How does it feel to have seen Kendrick Perkins get posterized like that in our lifetimes, though? If that happened to me, dunk or not, I would have straight up taken myself out of the game, called over Craig Seger and his amazing, technicolor suit and promptly announced my retirement from the game of professional basketball. Its that real, ladies and germs. Hand in the rim (giggles), fingers touching rim (giggles more), or not having your hand above and guiding the ball into the basket…whatever, we can belittle this detail for eternity, but fact of the matter is: it was sensational. Tell me you did not lose your biscuits when you first saw the replay. And can someone please give CP3, aka Carlton Banks, his just due on that pass, though? He had like 15 dimes that game. Again, I’m sorry Lakers fans, these types of highlights would be no doubt involving the Kobe system if the commish hadn’t put the ixnay on the initial deal.

KICKS/HI “CHAMPAGNE DREAMS” SNAPBACK CAP – SATURDAY (2/4) RELEASE:

This Saturday (2/4), we will be releasing our super popular “Champagne Dreams” design on a snapback cap in black, royal blue or grey colorway – all with green underbills, white snapbacks, white embroidered “HAWAII” back graphic, white embroidered “KICKS X HAWAII” graphic & signature orange KICKS/HI bartag. The only places you can get this cap is: KICKS/HI (1530 Makaloa St. Honolulu, HI 96814), KICKS/HI Guam & Saint Alfred.

NIKE SB – FEB ’12 ARRIVALS:

Gucci two times! Dunk Low SB murderation.

BEST ERIC KOSTON SB COLORWAY TO DATE! Illy vintage green colorway!

All pictured Nike SB shoes are available in the shop right now. No phone orders. Sorry.

NIKE RUNNING – FEB ’12 ARRIVALS:

Nike hit a homerun with these Huarache Frees. If shoe was a song, I would’ve already e-mailed it to all my friends & listen to it all day on repeat for easily about a month straight.

The only AM90s we like to bring in are the mesh toe jumpoffs like this – as close to the OG creation as possible. This particular colorway is as poppin’ with almost any denim wash as it is with any color chino you could imagine.

Both pictured Huarache Free & AM90 are available in the shop or via phone order now: 808.941.9191.

NIKE RETRO BASKETBALL – FEB ’12 ARRIVALS:

AF1 back. That YOTD AF1 Supreme almost single handedly brought people’s focus back to the Air Force 1. Who would have thought: a limited edition project that was actually produced in low quantities and hard to get everywhere that sold out everywhere that was fortunate to get the shoe and left people wanting more? I’ve always loved the AF1 Mid, and with the current all slim-fit everything pants movement, the AF1 Mid can pop extra hard. The mid was getting lost in all those straight/boot fit type cuts. Check the nice pebbled leather here too. Butters (no South Park).

The Flight ’89 has been one of my all-time favorite shoes. I’ve mentioned this almost every time we get a new colorway in, and this one is definitely a flat out winner! AMERICA!

Both pictured AF1 Mid & Flight ’89 are available in the shop or via phone order now: 808.941.9191.

NIKE SPORTSWEAR – EUGENE CHEYENNE BACKPACK:

One of the best/most tech backpacks that has come through our doors in years. Taped zippers, taped seams, ripstop tarpaulin lining, mad pockets/compartments, laptop space, ergonomic padded shoulder straps…it didn’t come with a manual with a breakdown of all the features so I am sure there is more, but from what I could see, this has all the bells and whistles of a well designed AND sick looking backpack. NSW FTW, feelme?!
This backpack is available in the shop or via phone order right now: 808.941.9191.

VANS OTW – HOWELL:

The Howell, a shop favorite silhouette for its ultra minimal branding, is back in a nice nubuck brown or soft black leather upper.
Available in the shop or via phone order now: 808.941.9191.

VANS CALIFORNIA COLLECTION – PENNY LOAFER:

This shoe is B4D4SS! The waffle sole makes it super skateable. Its like a fancy slip-on that I could wear to a bbq or a dinner date. Versatile. Its all how you flip it.
Available in the shop or via phone order now: 808.941.9191.

CROOKS N CASTLES – SPRING ’12 ARRIVALS:

Slowly but surely, we have been getting in new Crooks product. Shout out to the entire Crooks familia who are celebrating their 10 year anniversary in 2012. Crazy to think we carried the General D’s first brand “Land5cape” as one of the first labels when KICKS/HI opened. Its always such a pleasure to see friends/peers/fam make super cool ish and show continual growth throughout the years. SALUTE!
Available in the shop or via phone order now: 808.941.9191.
