Kicks/HI and their Reebok Reverse Jams use a micro-perf suede for the upper-accented by a stamped heel: “HONO” + “LULU” (on the green pair) and “YKWWS” (on the black pair). The colorways represent a home (green) and away (black)-as much of KICKS/HI inspiration comes from sports, island lifestyle (specifically growing up in Hawaii). The predominant color accent on both shoes is our signature shop orange, seen on their Orange Label cut and sew & bag program.  To accent the KICKS/HI x Reverse Jam shoes, we created a new “Natives are Restless” tee in three colorways.

They will be including the KICKS/HI “Natives are Restless” tee as a gift with purchase of a KICKS/HI Reverse Jam at KICKS/HI WARD and MAKALOA locations-as well as at the KICKS/HI ONLINE SHOP this Saturday, June 13 2009. The t-shirt will also be available for sale separately.
