Kickstory was born in 2016 with the goal of telling stories and showcasing the many facets of sneaker culture, as well as how people relate to it. We believe a sneaker is much more than a product: it carries memories, reveals identities, and accompanies important moments in people’s lives. That’s why we talk to people from different backgrounds, fields, and places to discover the stories, ideas, and experiences behind the pairs they choose. Here, sneakers are the starting point, but it’s the people who give the stories meaning.

Over the years, we’ve built an archive of conversations that connects people, creativity, and culture. Through interviews, photography, illustrations, animations, and other original content, we explore the different ways sneakers shape people’s lives and connect with art, design, fashion, music, and many other cultural expressions. Our goal is to document these connections, share new perspectives, and bring together people who share a common interest in the world of sneakers. Because we love sneakers, but above all, we love the stories they help us tell.
