WHY WE COSIGN: We'll take any excuse we can to go to Hawaii, and if that means limited kicks, then so be it. Besides surfing and loose tourist ladies on the beaches, KICKS/HI is the go-to spot for all things Complex in the style world...

When the shop started in 2001, there wasn't a spot to get solid Quickstrike Nike sneakers or the Stüssy gear Japanese tourists freak out on. "The inspiration was simply stocking the best footwear and apparel from around the world, and when you come to KICKS/HI you see just that. From our branded product offerings we have a huge love for music, art, and all things Hawaii we try to communicate that every season," says owner Edward Haus.

"The coolest thing to me is that our staff and friends are truly helpful and genuinely nice, a sad rarity in this day and age. We are dedicated to stocking the finest footwear and apparel and will always continue to do just that. We also have a KICKS/HI apparel range that is sold exclusively at KICKS HAWAII in Honolulu as well as Tumon Bay, Guam. Something special and exclusive for the island lifestyle that we live and love."
