Here comes the collaboration between KICKS/HI, SIG ZANE and CONVERSE (RED). For a detailed story behind the shoe, check out this article in the Honolulu Advertiser. The details on the release are as follows: Saturday, March 3rd, at KICK/HI Makaloa ONLY. The store opens promptly at 1100A. There are no holds, pre-books, or discounts on release product, especially this shoe because a portion of the proceeds go towards AIDS research.
KICKS/HI would like to remind everyone that this is a very important and meaningful project, because as much as it’s about the shoes-it’s bigger than the shoes…it’s about life and helping others, which is a very humbling position to be in.
