Kickers joins forces with A-COLD-WALL* on ‘deconstructed’ Kick Hi boot
Kickers has teamed up with contemporary London-based fashion brand A-COLD-WALL* on a limited-edition “deconstructed” version of the French footwear brand’s iconic Kick Hi – first introduced as a “jean boot” in 1975.
The shoe, available in both ‘Bone’ and ‘Onyx’, features distressed leather exteriors and contrasting suede panelling which conceals the lacing system and back heel, while the interior has exposed foam finished with a luxurious sheepskin lining.
No pair of Kickers is complete without its iconic fleurette tag, and the new collaboration boots feature a bespoke fleurette design in signature Kickers red and ACW* blue - echoed across the trademark tabs and outsole plug on each shoe, “seamlessly connecting the two brands”.
Alex Roberts, Head of Brand at Kickers, said: “Following the 50th anniversary of the Kick Hi, we are thrilled to take the legacy of the boot into a new chapter, and partner with A-COLD-WALL* on this limited-edition collaboration.
“For generations, the Kick Hi has been a feature of everyday life and consistently reinterpreted by those by those who have worn it. Collaborating with ACW* has allowed us to continue this legacy by reimagining the silhouette through their industrial lens and experimental approach to design, injecting a fresh perspective into a timeless style.”
A spokesperson for A-COLD-WALL* added: “In the UK, few brands carry the same emotional connection as Kickers. Particularly in London, where they are tied to cherished memories of formative years, marking a distinct moment in one's life. A-COLD-WALL* set out to reimagine the Kick-Hi, preserving its iconic silhouette while reimagining its material palette and detailing.”
The Kickers x A-COLD-WALL* Kick Hi boots are now available on both brands’ websites, priced at £150.
