|x| What’s good, fam! Happy new year and all that! We hope that everything is on and poppin’ for you in this young 2012. First off, just wanted to send some mahalos out to all our LA fam who should us love at Agenda. Good looking out! Have we got some big things in store for y’all this year AND in 2013! Can’t stop, won’t stop! Extra extra out to the bol Wells P & the Nike LA crew for hooking up the box seats for a Lob City game. The West look extra swoll this year guys, and I’m a diehard Bulls fan… And an ultimate mahalos to the entire HUF crew for their UNREAL art show with Japanese artist Haroshi & DLX. Seeing those sculptures in person is nothing short of mind boggling how Haroshi was able to create all those pieces (especially the fully functional electric guitar, which THE Tommy Gurrero played to christen it) out of old skateboard decks! Sensational!
NIKE AF1 “YEAR OF THE DRAGON” SUPREME QUICKSTRIKE – SATURDAY (1/14) RELEASE:



Everyone that put AF1s to the left the last year(s) or so are the same people that stopped wearing their New Eras, but these are all the same people who are coming back around to…you guessed it: AF1s and New Era fitteds. Classics are such because of their staying power and timeless style. AF1s are classics. I mean, just listen to the anthem “Classic” produced by DJ Premier. It says it all. Anyway, this “Year of the Dragon” Supreme QS AF1 is certified dope. You cannot get any cleaner than an all black upper with all white outsole. I could straight up live in this shoe. The dragon graphic on the tongue is the only color pop (other than the insole, which is obviously not visible when wearing). Even if you’re not born under the Dragon sign, which I am not either, this is a great AF1. I feel like this is one of those that flies under the radar and then everyone wants it a couple of months later when I’m laughingly wearing mine on the daily. Boo. Ya.
Get yours this Saturday (1/14). Doors open at 1100A. First come, first served. Limited to stock on hand. No holds or discounts on release product.
Phone orders will be accepted on remaining pairs beginning Monday (1/16): 808.941.9191.
REEBOK PUMP FURY “OG”:


Not only is this is OG Pump Fury colorway! HOORAY! But Reebok has numbered each shoe out of a 2012 run, which yes, is a lot of pairs, BUT to number each one is special. The Pump Fury is one of those shoes that is such a unique silhouette that you can’t help but remember the first time you saw it or which one of your friends used to rock ‘em. Love ‘em or hate ‘em – they definitely stay in your memory banks. We have a limited amount of pairs in the shop right now. I already know Tassho from Flip the Bird is all over this one (he being one of the homies that I distinctly remember rocking Pump Furys back in the day). There is also a little Flip the Bird new arrival preview later on…two birds. One newsletter. Haha.
Phone orders accepted: 808.941.9191.
VANS OTW – NEW ARRIVALS:



Don’t sleep on the OTW Woessner. Its like a 5-eyelet Authentic with a dope round toe. I like this silhouette a lot. The round laces are always a win win win win win!
Available in weathered/worn black or indigo denim upper.


OTW Bedford is back is a SICK red canvas upper with leather lining. The Bedford was a popular style last year for us, and this canvas material play should do equally well.
All pictured Vans OTW shoes are available for phone order: 808.941.9191.
NIKE DESTROYER JACKET:

You already know. Ball so hard. Phone orders accepted: 808.941.9191.

|x| What’s good, fam! Have you ever wondered how many thugs have been thoroughly bummed when they sat down and watched “True Blood” for the first time, and found out that it was a show about vampires? No? Because these are things that I think about. Often. I can only imagine how much farther along in life I’d be if I could actually remember useful info instead of random thoughts like the latter and all the lyrics to ’90s hip-hop and trap songs.
CONVERSE FIRST STRING – JP JOHNNY HI:



Converse First String with yet another solid take on a classic silhouette. This time the Jack Purcell Johnny Hi gets a black denim upper treatment. What a difference it makes when there are premium materials and a well thought through design. I appreciate good attention to detail, and I think the likes of: Converse First String and Vans Vault do an outstanding job in creating shoes that substantially standout as top tier product.
Available in the shop or via phone order right now: 808.941.9191.
NIKE SB – JANUARY ’12 ARRIVALS:


For skating, the suede is going to win out all the time, but the leather Janoski joints are nothing to sneeze at style-wise.

SB Bruin in the Diamond/Tiffany colorway is a smart move to instantly energize this silhouette, which is a good, retro tennis style, but not the most checked for model out of the entire SB product range.



This entire 2011 year of SB Dunks has been the best overall in a while. Dunks feel like they are on the upswing again like they never left…

I really like the P.Rod V, and I like the P.Rod V Mid even more. I just think they need to offer round, hiking type laces as the second option and its a certified wrap!

SB needs to make the Salazar with ONLY a leather upper. It is not the same in a suede.
All pictured Nike SB shoes are available now for in store purchases only. No phone orders accepted. Sorry.
NIKE – JANUARY ’12 ARRIVALS:

Air Flight ’89. A top ten shoe for me. All-time. So official. Like they’re up there with Jordan 3′s for me.

Free Run 2. The breakout running silhouette of 2011 in three new colorways. Boo. Ya.

Lunarglide 3.

LunarFly 3. I just love how the lunar outsole looks on running silhouettes. You know how some of these newer air bag midsoles have THE WORST designs ever? Yeah. That.
All pictured Nike basketball and running shoes are available in the shop or via phone order: 808.941.9191.
STAPLE x KID ROBOT – VINYL PIGEON FIGURE:





Yessir. We would like to welcome the STAPLE fam back on our shelves – beginning with this awesome collab vinyl pigeon + pigeon “splatter” they did with Kid Robot. Limited edition fun. You’ll see new STPL graphic tees and cut n sew in the shop come Spring ’12. Shot out to Nico, Jeff and the Reed Space homies.
Get yours now at the shop or via phone order: 808.941.9191.
BLACK SCALE – FALL ’11:




Brand new Black Scale New Era fitted cap bangers.


New Black Scale New Era snapback cap.


Black Scale is running the men’s jewelry/accessory game right now. Super on point.
All pictured Black Scale products are available in the shop or via phone order: 808.941.9191.
STONES THROW:

Jay Dee. J-Dilla. Dilla Dog. J-88. The Ummah. The man. The myth. The legend. His beats will forever live on in the history of hip-hop as one the culture’s strongest pillars. His “Dilla Donuts” album is an amazing journey through his mind via his original sampling and beatmaking techniques. This tee from Stones Throw is a discharge print on white or black tee. SO NECESSARY!

2011 Stones Throw logo tee on heather grey tee.
All pictured Stones Throw tees are available in the shop or via phone order: 808.941.9191.
SAINT ALFRED – FALL ’11:


We done saved the best for last. Brand new STA baseball jersey on offcial Champion body & STA snapback on official Starter snapback cap. Dopeness.

“STA” logo graphic tees. I’m a sucker for black prints on olive tees. So clean.

|x| What’s good, fam! Its less than 2 weeks away from the start of the stunted NBA season, and already there has been some huge trades (and non-trades…I’m looking at you David Stern). Wouldn’t it be funny if the Mavs end up making a trade with the Magic for Dwight Howard, which would include Lamar Odom, and the Clippers end up being a better team than the Lakers this season. Stranger things have happened! All I know is, nobody, and I mean NOBODY should try and contact me on Christmas day because I am burying myself alive under 6 feet of professional basketball dirt…
KICKS/HI FA’11 “TIGERSHARKS” SNAPBACK CAP by MITCHELL & NESS – SATURDAY (12/17) RELEASE:



Just in time for Christmas! KICKS/HI “Tigersharks” snapback cap by Mitchell & Ness in seaweed green (seaweed green underbill), sand tan (chambray underbill), or graphite black grey (graphite black grey underbill). There are all the great Mitchell & Ness details (M&N taped seams, M&N logo stitched on the side upper, M&N bill sticker, and best of all: high quality M&N production. It is also one of the best fitting snapback caps we have come across. Get yours this Saturday (12/17) in store. We will have them up in our online shop the following Monday (12/19): online store jumpoff. THESE WILL NOT LAST LONG! GET YOURS!
KICKS/HI FA’11 “TIGERSHARKS” LAPEL PIN – SATURDAY (12/17) RELEASE:



In addition to our Mitchell & Ness “Tigersharks” snpaback cap, we also have a dope “Tigersharks” lapel pin releasing this Saturday (12/17). We will have the pin up in our online shop the following Monday (12/19): online store jumpoff.
NIKE BASKETBALL: LEBRON 9 “CHINA” QUICKSTRIKE – SATURDAY (12/17) RELEASE:






When the first GR colorways of the Lebron 9 dropped, it was more of a consensus “meh” than “wowsers” from most customers and Lebron sneakerheads, but then came the Canons…man, if we only had like 36 more pairs of those to sell…if only…and now, this Saturday (12/17) we will have the “China” quickstrike colorway dropping, and in my opinion, this colorway hits EVEN HARDER than the Canons! The blue on this shoe isn’t an ordinary blue, which makes it stand out even more (a la the Kobe V “Miles Davis” joints from a year and a half ago in terms of memorable blue colorways).
First come, first served Saturday (12/17) in the shop. Phone orders accepted on remaining pairs (if any) beginning Monday (12/19): 808.941.9191.
NIKE RUNNING: TAILWIND (VINTAGE) QUICKSTRIKE – SATURDAY (12/17) RELEASE:




In the spirit of the Honolulu Marathon this past weekend, Nike has produced a super limited edition Tailwind, which coincidentally was originally launched at the 1978 Honolulu Marathon with the first use of Nike air bag technology. KICKS/HI is the only account in the entire North America to carry this shoe! As always, Nike always nails the vintage detailing on these running retros.
First come, first served Saturday (12/17) in the shop. Phone orders accepted on remaining pairs (if any) beginning Monday (12/19): 808.941.9191.
NIKE RUNNING: AIR MAX LIGHT (VINTAGE) QUICKSTRIKE – SATURDAY (12/17) RELEASE:



As I was saying about Nike vintage detailing…NAILED IT! Air Max Light (Vintage) in OG colorways WITH MESH TOEBOXES!! I really do not need to say more about these because this is straight up CRACK ROCK, people. Foot drugs in its purest, unstepped on form.
First come, first served Saturday (12/17) in the shop. Phone orders accepted on remaining pairs (if any) beginning Monday (12/19): 808.941.9191.
NIKE RUNNING: HUARACHE FREE (RUNNING) QUICKSTRIKE – SATURDAY (12/17) RELEASE:


You already know what’s good with this Huarache Free running jumpoff based off of all the calls we’ve been getting this week. We will be releasing this awesome shoe this Saturday (12/17) in the shop. Phone orders accepted on remaining pairs (if any) beginning Monday (12/19): 808.941.9191.
NIKE BASKETBALL: KOBE VII SUPREME – SATURDAY (12/17) RELEASE:



Man, after picking up like 6 colorways of the Kobe V, something about the Kobe VI turnt me off and I didn’t buy any of them, and then this Kobe VII Supreme arrived, and I think me and Kobe sneakers are back in a good place. This supreme package includes the shoe upper with two sets of insoles that have built-in socks. They slide in and out of the upper easily. The velcro ankle strap is for added support when actually playing ball – as none of the Kobe models up to this date offered any kind of ankle support. The second insole/sock is the low top version. If you’re not following how this works: the upper is without a tongue, and the insole with connected sock IS the tongue as well. Its a very well conceived product, and a great colorway – especially for Lakers fans.
First come, first served Saturday (12/17) in the shop. Phone orders accepted on remaining pairs (if any) beginning Monday (12/19): 808.941.9191.
NIKE SB – DECEMBER ’11 ARRIVALS:

New silhouette from Nike SB: Team Edition SE. Clean, simple. Good price point. Booya.

Nike SB Janoski Mid Premium “Wingtip” quickstrike now available in the shop. Very interesting that SB would chance taking the wingtip model to a mid top, but I really like the execution here: premium leather upper and best part is that it is leather lined on the inside which means its super comfortable.
All pictured Nike SB products are available in the shop right now. No phone orders on Nike SB sorry.
HANNI EL KHATIB TEE:

The homies Hanni & Jamie Strong reached out for us with the opportunity to carry this super dope Hanni El Khatib tee (designed by Ricky Saiz from Supreme) that they originally were only going to sell on tour, but then the likes of Collette and Union were asking to carry the tee, and voila! H.E.K. tee now available at KICKS/HI!
Phone orders accepted: 808.941.9191. If your size is out, we are expecting a restock soon.
PUBLISH CAMO SURPLUS PANT:


Another dope pant from Publish. This is a slimmer cut than a regular cargo/surplus pant in a custom Publish camo pattern. I’m actually wearing a pair of them as I type this. For real doe!
Available in the shop or via phone order: 808.941.9191.
BLACK SCALE – FALL ’11 TEES:






Black Scale Fall ’11 tees in the shop right now! Another really strong season of graphics. Just wait till you see their capsule with A$AP Rocky coming out next summer, though…UGH BASS…UGH BASS…UGH BASS…UGH BASS…UGH BASS…UGH BASS… But for now, get with these tees. Some serious heaters here.
Available in the shop or via phone order: 808.941.9191.

|x| What’s good, fam! Check out all the new releases/arrivals! Oh but before we get into all that, can I can an ‘AMEN’ from the congregation for the NBA season being back on track. I was honestly worried this wasn’t going to happen, but 66 games…I’ll take that. Chris Paul to the Magic…I’ll take that. David West to the Bulls…I’ll take that. Oh the scenarios that will play out this year. I mess with football, but I am a basketball fanatic. No double dribble.

KICKS/HI Fall 2011 – ‘Tiger Bomber’. Front center chest logo print with a small back collar logo print on white or black tee.

KICKS/HI Fall 2011 – ‘Crest Est MMI’. Another classic from the vaults by extra popular demand! Front center chest logo print on white, heather grey or black tee.





Of all the designs we have done over the past 10 years, this is one of most meaningful ones that we have had the honor of running: KICKS/HI Fall 2011 – ‘Love & Aloha’ Sig Zane for KICKS/HI. Uncle Sig blessed us with his signature hand style for this graphic. This is also the first double name t-shirt we have ever done together. For more insight into the culture/lifestyle of the Sig Zane family, check out their awesome & personal Sig Zane vimeo page. Available on white, red or black tee.
All KICKS/HI Fall 2011 tees will be available for purchase at our Makaloa door on Saturday (12/3) at 1100A & via our KICKS/HI online shop. KICKS/HI tees are also available at KICKS/HI Guam & Saint Alfred. The ‘Love & Aloha’ tee will also be available at Sig Zane’s wonderful shop in downtown Hilo.
JOSE PARLA for CONVERSE FIRST STRING & PRODUCT RED – SATURDAY (12/3) RELEASE:





“Internationally renowned, José Parlá is widely known for his distinctive abstract process that blends calligraphy, collage, textures, and color to create paintings dealing with themes such as psycho-geography, urbanization, wall decay, names, personal diaries, current events, and political divisions. His paintings are symbols that depict the memory of a place, an observation, the mood of an experience, or a shared story of passing through cities around the world.
Using the Chuck Taylor All Star shoe as the canvas, Parlá’s painting “Ephemeral Pitches, and Notes, Rhythm and Phonetics” graces the shoe’s upper. Using an extremely high-tech laser printing technique, Parlá’s work is immaculate and vivid with a carefully color-matched representation of the original piece in natural tones of tan, yellow and grey. Additionally, subtly placed in the shoe’s interior, Parlá’s signature can be found on the shoe’s footbed as well as a repeat calligraphy pattern along the shoe’s lining. The shoe’s outsole also receives a unique painted treatment, giving nod to the artist at work in his studio. High-level construction throughout, the shoe’s design is completed with 100% organic cotton natural color laces and the signature Converse (PRODUCT)RED top eyelet.” (via Converse First String).
Jose Parla is one of my favorite contemporary artists so this shoe has definitely been on my watchlist since I saw a sample earlier this year. Its one of those shoes that will look just as dope worn out as it does all crisp and new. I especially like the off-white, canvas heel strip with Parla’s distinct handstyle tag. The beauty is in the details. Not only is this a really sick looking shoe, but it is also for a GREAT cause. A cure for AIDS is still as relevant today as the first AIDS crisis arose in the ’80s. These Premium Chuck Taylors will be available this Saturday (12/3) in the shop & via phone order beginning Monday (12/5): 808.941.9191.
BILLY KIRK x TAKA HAYASHI for VANS VAULT – SATURDAY (12/3) RELEASE:

The brothers and co-owners of BILLY KIRK, Chris & Kirk Bray, did amazing job of mixing waxed canvas, fine suede & premium leathers to create this pack of Taka Hayashi Derby LX, SK8-Hi LX & limited edition tote bag (you’ll see in like .7 seconds…)

SK8-HI LX & Billy Kirk tote bag.

Derby LX & Billy Kirk tote bag.

Horween leather hang tag so you know its real.


PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE TOTE. IT IS ONE COLORWAY TO REFLECT THE SK8-HI LX ON ONE SIDE & ONE COLORWAY TO REFLECT THE DERBY LX ON THE OTHER SIDE. Next level.




Ever since I like JUST figured out the lacing system on this Taka Hayashi SK8-HI LX, its been a revelation. I went from strongly disliking the shoe to absolutely hating myself for not picking any of them up sooner. Wamp to the wamp
All pictured Billy Kirk x Taka Hayashi for Vans Vault items: SK8-Hi LX, Derby LX & tote bag will available for purchase separately this Saturday (12/3) in the shop & via phone order beginning Monday (12/5): 808.941.9191.

PENDLETON “CANBY” by SHWOOD / SATURDAY (11/26) RELEASE:







The timing for our opening up our account with Pendleton and the arrival of this Pendleton x Shwood "Canby" sunglasses is perfect. Pendleton absolutely bodied this collab with their signature patterned, wool fabric bag, and the amazing laser etched pattern arms. I already bought our KICKS/HI x Shwood "Canby". Am I really going to break for these shades too?? (BTW the answer is: DUH! There is no other acceptable answer.)

NIKE SB – DECEMBER ’11 ARRIVALS:

New Dec ’11 Nike SB selections just in: Dunk Mid. Janoski & Harbor. No phone orders on Nike SB products. Sorry.
NIKE BASKETBALL – LEBRON 9:

All black, err’thang. This triple black colorway option gives the new bron bron shoe a totally different look/feel. As much of a total departure this is from the Lebron 8 & Lebron 8 V2, I am feeling this silhouette for some reason. Its “cool” for lack of a better word, and hopefully that description didn’t just make the entire shoe “uncool” for everyone. Oh man, I am totally just eating my words right now and it doesn’t taste too good…someone pass the pepper, puh-lease…



Speaking of how different the triple black Lebron 9 is vs other colorways…feast. your. eyes. I’ve seen people rocking these on/off the court and I am not mad at this colorway at all either, though. If you do wear a bugged out colorway on the court, you really need to have: a super “wet” jump shot, a wicked driving game, or just be super terrible so people can attribute it to you either meeting expectations of the shoe or overcompensating for lack of talent…feel me?
Both pictured Lebron 9 colorways are available in the shop right now or via phone order: 808.941.9191.
SEE Y’ALLS FRIDAY…

|x| What’s good, fam! Stop me if you’ve heard this before: NBA = No Basketball Anymore…If you’re real quiet, that was Rik Smits shedding a single tear. I mean, come on, guys! You guys are arguing over like a tenth of a percentage point. The real shame here is that NBA players are notoriously very Antoine Walker with their money. You would think its mo money, no problems. Not the case. Anyway, I think people just want to watch some basketball already. Thank the heavens for NCAA hoops or I would be going looney! BTW the University of Hawaii team looks formidable this year…
NIKE SB – DUNK HI PREMIUM “TAUN TAUN” QUICKSTRIKE / SATURDAY (11/19) RELEASE:



Empire Strikes Back. Luke is caught out in a snow storm. Han Solo finds the bol and to save his buddy’s life, he cuts open Luke’s Taun Taun and shoves his body into its guts to keep his body warm overnight. True Bear Grylls type levels before Bear Grylls was even Cub Grylls, feel me? But yeah, that scene is where the Nike SB design team drew their inspiration for this Dunk Hi Premium Quickstrike. The tonal grey, long hair suede and wool upper references the color of the Taun Taun’s fur, and the Nike check colorway is the color of the Taun Taun’s tusks. Without the story, its a good looking shoe so the win is still intact here. This shoe is a Quickstrike; therefore, we are talking limited pairs available and not every shop will be receiving this shoe.
No holds or discounts on release product. First come, first served. KICKS/HI opens at 1100A. No phone orders on Nike SB items. In store purchases only. Sorry.

Madvillain!

I absolutely love this DAM FUNK t-shirt design. So much so that I already bought BOTH the white and purple tees, and I cannot fathom myself in a purple tee, but I’m the best mayne, I DEEEED IT! On the real though, Prince. 1999. You should already know where this graphic is quelled from. If not, then cut your ears off because you should not be allowed to listen to music. Kbye.
