Kicking Kashi Flavor
Friday, February 8th, 2008Sneakers and jewels have been a part of urban fashion since Hip Hop’s inception, but only recently have the two worlds collided. Alan Kashi, a 26 year-old jeweler, who went from New York to Pittsburgh to make custom jewels had a heavy-hand if not pioneering, in this movement of weaving iced out medallions and Cuban links through laces.
The movement led Kashi to his own manufacturing plant, Kashi Kicks. Approaching 300 styles, many of which sold out, this thriving designer sneaker company has caught attention of everybody from George Clinton to DJ Khaled. Get a sense of this fashion phenomenon and the visionary behind as The Evil Collector kicks it with Kashi.
