Working on reinventing themselves, Kickers has worked with a series of designers on a range of [limited edition range of hi-tops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandro-x-clarks-originals).

The [House of Holland](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-magnum-collection) designs also include a range of brightly coloured kickers & t-shirts which are all very nu-rave.

Griffin's interpretation of the Kick-Hi "moves the boots in a casual direction, giving them a [relaxed and sporty edge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reebok-x-white-mountaineering1). The familiar military motif appears on the side of the shoes along with the Griffin heart logo."

Other designs in the series come from Noki, Husam & Peter Jensen.
