Kashi Kicks Teams With Liberace!

It was only a matter of time before the “Millennial” generation and the hip-hop community noticed Liberace, the original King of Bling ®. It makes sense- following Liberace’s lead, Diddy, Usher and the like favor and flaunt the excesses of fur, diamonds and gold. Teaming up with the Liberace Foundation, Kashi Kicks has created a new masterpiece to their AK Collection called “The Liberace ®” – the first-ever sneaker with a removable jeweled cape.

The Kashi Kicks shoe company has evolved around the jewelry and hip-hop culture and is known for dazzling, sparkling and glitter-laden sneakers coveted by the celebrity feet of the likes of Slim of 112, Cool from the producer duo Cool & Dre, Flava Flav, George Clinton, Casey Hampton of the Steelers, and Dj Unk.

The Kashi Kicks owners are huge fans of Liberace and following a recent visit to the Liberace Museum’s OUTSIDE THE SHOE BOX exhibit, they were inspired to design a collection of shoes that represent the over-the-top bling that Liberace is famous for. Kashi Kicks’ VP of Marketing adds “My grandmother loved Liberace and I grew up watching him on television. He really was the original King of Bling ™ .”
