We are committed to supporting young athletes by providing running shoes to those in need, helping them stay active and pursue the sports they love.
Kicks for Slicks Foundation was born from a simple realization: something as basic as a pair of running shoes can determine whether a student gets the opportunity to compete.
As student-athletes, we've experienced firsthand the confidence, friendships, discipline, and sense of purpose that sports provide. We also realized that not every student has the same opportunity. For many families, the cost of proper running shoes can be enough to keep an athlete from joining a team or competing at their full potential.
We believed that shouldn't be the reality.
That's why we founded Kicks for Slicks: to ensure that financial circumstances never stand in the way of a student's passion for sport. By working with schools and community partners, we provide quality running shoes to student-athletes who need them most, helping them step onto the starting line with confidence.
At Kicks for Slicks, we believe talent, determination, and hard work, not a family's ability to afford running shoes, should define a student's athletic journey.
Kicks for Slicks Foundation was founded with a simple goal: to remove financial barriers that prevent young athletes from participating in the sports they love. For many families, the cost of quality running shoes can make it difficult for athletes to train and compete safely. Without proper footwear, athletes face a higher risk of injury and may be discouraged from continuing in their sport.
Recognizing this challenge, Kicks for Slicks Foundation was created to help ensure that every athlete has access to the basic equipment they need to succeed. Through community partnerships, shoe drives, and generous donations, we collect and distribute running shoes to athletes who may not otherwise have access to them.
Our mission goes beyond simply providing footwear. We aim to support young athletes, encourage active lifestyles, and strengthen communities by giving more students the opportunity to stay involved in sports. By working together with schools, teams, and local organizations, we hope to continue expanding our reach and helping more athletes pursue their goals with confidence.
