Monochromatic Hi-Top Sneakers

Kickers and Goodhood Launch Two Muted Kick Hi Colorway Designs

— October 4, 2021 — Lifestyle
Kickers continues to grow its Fall/Winter 2021 offerings with new iterations of the Kick Hi sneaker model made alongside retail label Goodhood. The two put their heads together to design two monochromatic options adorning the silhouette.

The Kick Hi has slowly become one of the most notable shoes by the brand, put into the spotlight by the British music culture. It is a silhouette that perfectly fuses into the different subcultures and eras of that caliber. The two new iterations boast minimal design language with black and white detailing in the spotlight. It sits on top of chunky sole units in a contrasting hue. The black iteration is made with smooth matte finishing and the white option in mottled leather.
