Kickers unveils collaboration with A-Cold-Wall*
British footwear brand Kickers has launched a limited-edition collaboration with fashion label A-Cold-Wall*_ capturing “the shared essence of two brands rooted deep in London street culture and everyday life”.
The collaborative Kick Hi boot introduces a completely unique silhouette_ which Kickers states is “unlike any design seen in the 50-year history of the Kick Hi_” as it features A-Cold-Wall*_s signature deconstructed flair.
Whilst the limited-edition style maintains the classic Kick Hi shape_ A-Cold-Wall* has reimagined the iconic boot with distressed leather uppers_ referencing its post-industrial handwriting_ which is contrasted with suede panelling that conceals the lacing system and back heel. The interior holds exposed foam finished with a luxurious sheepskin lining.
Commenting on the collaboration_ A-Cold-Wall*_ said in a statement: “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 limited-edition drop is available in two colourways - Bone and Onyx_ and each shoe features a bespoke fleurette design in signature Kickers red and A-Cold-Wall* blue_ echoed across the trademark tabs and outsole plug on each shoe.
Alex Roberts_ head of brand at Kickers_ added: “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 A-Cold-Wall* 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.”
The A-Cold-Wall* x Kickers Kick Hi will be available from both brands_ websites_ priced at 150 pounds and in UK sizes 3 to 12.
