“Kashi Kicks specializes in the design, manufacturing, marketing and distribution of progressive, premium street fashion. The Kashi Kicks lifestyle brand was created by designer Alan Kashi. Alan Kashi’s design influences, born in the jewelry industry and rooted in the street, are uniquely evident in his collections of men’s and women’s sneakers, bags, belts and sportswear.”

Kashi Kicks almost brings a new meaning to the words “Bling, Bling” with their flashy designs and crazy patterns. They offer a new innovative approach to the regular sneaker concept with the idea that not only can you wear jewelry on your neck, ears, and wrist, but now you can even ice-out your sneakers, and with style.  Several members of the hip hop community have already began to pledge their support, like George Clinton, Flavor Flav, Talib Kweli, Joey Porter, 40 Cal, Shawty Lo, Ginuwine, and more. Kashi Kicks embraces this support to the fullest by giving back to up-and-coming artists through sponsored mixtape projects and other promotions. Being based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Kashi Kicks have steadily branched out and now have sneakers, bags, belts, and other accessories displayed in over 250 stores worldwide. The Kashi Kicks sneaker line features six different models, AK Timeline, AK Color Sole (CS), AK Classic, AK Piano, AK Mobile Player, and the AK Hero, which are all available in man’s sizes and select models in woman’s sizes over at their Online Shop. My personal favorite’s are the AK Pianos, because of the great keyboard designs and the DJ-equse feel.  Checkout a few of the Kaski Kicks after the jump.
