Kickers is an iconic, global fashion brand that makes unique footwear for confident, style-savvy people. Kickers was born in 1970 when French fashion visionary Daniel Raufast created a new style of casual boot designed specifically for wearing with jeans. Raufast, inspired by the revolutionary spirit of Parisian students and according to legend, a poster for the musical Hair, created the first Kickers boot. This radical new style of footwear is made of nubuck leather but ‘born from denim’, paying homage to the favoured material of the freewheeling peace-and-love generation. Its unique features of contrast triple stitching, engraved eyelets, the logo ‘hot-branded’ on the back of the shoe, and of course the Kickers ‘fleurette’ remain classic emblems of the brand to this day.
The Kick Hi - Kickers most popular design and worldwide style icon was launched as the first UK store opens on King’s Road in 1975. Famous fans – including Roger Daltrey, Elton John and David Bowie helped Kickers secure its place in rock ’n’ roll history.
