IT’S A FACT, WE’RE JUST DAYS AWAY FROM CELEBRATING OUR WONDERFUL CITY. MONDAY IS APRIL 14TH, MARKING THE ONE FOUR DAY IN MILWAUKEE, A DAY TO HONOR OUR COMMUNITY AND THE 414 AREA CODE. A FANTASTIC EVENT IS PLANNED FOR TOMORROW WHERE YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS OR FEET ON LIMITED EDITION 414 INSPIRED SHOES. JOINING US IS SHEIKH JAMES, OWNER OF CLICKS KICKS. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US! HOW ARE YOU DOING? I’M ABSOLUTELY FINE. THANKS FOR HAVING ME. CAN YOU SHARE WITH OUR AUDIENCE ABOUT CLICKS KICKS? WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO START THIS BUSINESS AND HOW IS IT IMPACTING OUR COMMUNITY? CLICKS HAS BEEN A STAPLE IN SHOREWOOD FOR 11 YEARS, BUILT ON A STRONG PARTNERSHIP WITH ADIDAS. WE’RE EXCITED FOR 414 DAY! CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THIS YEAR’S LIMITED EDITION 414 DAY SHOES? THERE AREN’T 414 PAIRS THIS TIME, BUT LET ME EXPLAIN THE CREATIVE PROCESS. DURING MY VISIT TO A FASHION HOUSE IN NEW YORK, I DISCOVERED SOME PERCEPTIONS ABOUT MILWAUKEE THAT SPARKED MY CREATIVE IDEA FOR THIS YEAR’S DESIGN. I WANTED TO INSPIRE PEOPLE TO SEE Milwaukee IN A NEW LIGHT. I INCORPORATED WATER WAVE DESIGNS TO REPRESENT LAKE MICHIGAN AND ADDED ELEMENTS TO THE INSOLLES THAT REFLECT THE THINGS MILWAUKEE IS FAMOUS FOR LIKE BOWLING, BEER, THE HOAN BRIDGE, AND THE LIGHTHOUSE. THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT SHOES; IT’S ABOUT CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNITY. TODAY, WE SPENT TIME WITH CHILDREN, AND I HAD A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE GIFTING THEM SHOES. IT’S IMPORTANT TO INCREASE THEIR ASPIRATIONS AND SHOW THEM THAT THE SKY’S THE LIMIT! TOMORROW, WE’LL LAUNCH THESE SHOES AT KLITSCHKO, FEATURING A TATTOO ARTIST FOR CUSTOM WORK, FOOD FROM TOYA’S KITCHEN, AND MORE!
