Combine community partner, Kicks Academy asked the us to come out and hang with the team and capture some behind-the-scenes footage as they commemorated the unveiling of a custom sneaker collaboration with We Are Underdogs.
Founder, George Duval started Kicks Academy with Coach Mike because of their mutual love for sneakers and the culture of footwear. They currently operate afterschool programs in a number of schools throughout NYC and abroad and have developed a collaboration with the sneaker brand, We are Underdogs.
Kicks Academy x We are Underdogs ft. Tay Carter is a pairing of Kaito Choi with Innovation High School student and KA scholar, Tay Carter. Tay’s inspiration includes many Harlem fixtures and style connections among revolutionary icon Malcolm X.
