KashiKicks is not just for kids!  Las Vegas – the site of the M.A.G.I.C. and Project convention and trade show - was the heartbeat of the legendary Liberace.  The newest KashiKicks to hit the street are not just a gear shoe, but an artistic rendition of Liberace’s costumes – the footgear has piano keys surrounding the sole borders and up the sides of the sports shoe!  In flaming pink (women’s line), with butterflies of gilt, and pink piano keys, your feet will make an indelible statement as you cruise through anywhere you may go.  The lining of the sports shoe is done in piano keys imprinted upon it.  Wow!  Wearing these shoes with jeans puts a new spotlight on old Vegas glamour.   For men, the shoe is a tad more in tune with sneaker lovers, fans and street hip culture.  The keys are more traditional, black and white, but the glitz remains in touches of gold in the fabric portion of the design.

 

Recently, wearing a pink themed pair, children were agog at the look and wished they could have a pair just like them!  Interesting to note is the fact that this great look is ultra comfortable!!!!  Wearing them for hours on end is a joy to the feet.  That is the sign of a really good product.

 

If you go to the Liberace Museum in Las Vegas, you can purchase these shoes for $99. with the proceeds going to the Liberace Foundation, a not for profit organization that offers assistance to talented youngsters to pursue careers in the performing and creative arts.  With this new collection, Liberace’s street recognition with a new generation has been thrust upon the scene.  If you wish to contact the Liberace Museum for purchase or more details about this unique collection, call (702) 798-5595 or online at Liberace.org.

 

Kashi Kicks was developed in Pittsburgh, PA, by Alan Kashi, is a hip-hop wearer’s dream of art on the feet.  Their designs have graced the soles of celebrities, including trend setting style leaders such as George Clinton, Flava Flav, DJ Unk, Slim (112), Cool (Cool and Dre) and even famed athlete, Casey Hamilton of the Pittsburgh Steelers. 

 

Alan Kashi, a fourth generation family of jewelers who settled in Brooklyn, NY from Israel, had a vision of bringing bling to the footgear industry.  Kashi Kicks became the next step for the urban shoe lines. Then Kashi came along with bling, bling, bling for the hamstrings!!!  Urban, suburban, and countrywide, AK manufactures one of the truly futuristic concepts in the market.  Kudos to Kashi!
