​
How Killebrew Kicks Came To Be:
Killebrew Kicks was founded by nationally acclaimed comedian Lawrence Killebrew in 2019. As a
devoted “sneaker-head”, Killebrew always remembered what it was like receiving a new pair of sneakers
when he was a child. It gave him a feeling of confidence he has never forgotten. Through Killebrew
Kicks, his vision is to help give back that confidence to today’s youth in need.
With first just his motivation to support local kids, the sneaker donations came directly from Killebrew’s
personal collection. However, this eliminated the students that didn’t wear his shoe size. Not wanting
any child to be left out, the idea was suggested to purchase brand new sneakers for each child. Regardless
of the sacrifice, Lawrence was committed because he knew the importance of this gesture as a way to
honor these students for their hard work.
Today, Killebrew Kicks has expanded, with the help of local business and private donations, to gift new
kicks for students in various communities.
We want to provide children the experience to buy the sneaker that they really want out of the store!
KK aspires to offer less fortunate children the opportunity of
"Having Your Own!"
