The Kicks Collective
Who They Are
The Kicks Collective is a new initiative committed to working collectively to make an impact on arts, culture, and community by harnessing the power of shoes. Eduardo Gonzalez Louimet, a Domi Board member, has co-founded The Kicks Collective.
In October of 2020, Eduardo Gonzalez Loumiet (CEO of RUVOS) decided that he wanted to impact the lives of children near and far, using shoes as the focus. He knew there were complex community issues needing support and awareness, but he was only one person. He then invited a diverse group of individuals and business owners to a table to share their expertise and ideas. Chirag Shah (The Current Agency), Jim Sherwood (The Canvas Project), Juan Vasquez (RUVOS), and Morgan Evers (FINACIOUS) each arrived willing and ready to play a part. It was then The Kicks Collective came into reality.
Shoe Design Contest for Kids
The Kicks Collective is inviting all of those who are ages 5-18 to design their own shoes and submit their original and unique shoes on their website. All youth who submit designs will be invited to a virtual shoe design class in the Spring, and the winners will have their designs brought to life with custom kicks for them and a paired celebrity influencer!
