Company mission
To shake up and influence sneaker culture across the UK and Europe.
Our take
Tapping into one of the fastest-growing unregulated markets in the world, Kick Game is an eCommerce and retail company enabling the buying and selling of high-demand sneakers and streetwear apparel.
Kick Game stands out from competitors through its unique offering of exclusive and rare but authenticated sneakers and streetwear items. Considered a destination-retailer, it offers products from brands including Nike, Air Jordan, Off-White and Supreme. The business capitalises on the popular demand for limited edition clothing and has fuelled interest by collaborating with high-profile figures including Travis Scott and Serena Williams.
Recent capital funded a new warehouse in the Netherlands, facilitating expansion across Europe, specifically penetrating the thriving Scandinavian market. Further capital will be invested into online and retail expansion, opening new stores globally, whilst the company works developing a marketplace through which consumers can resell products.
