THE KICKS TOUR

Print Media Outlets

Teen Vogue, Nylon, I-D, Complex, Hypebeast

OOH Ads

Billboards at high-traffic intersections near event venues (Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami) and bus shelter ads near transit hubs in host cities for major music and sporting events such as Lollapalooza and FIFA World Cup events.

Rationale for Placement

These publications reach a mix of young men and women who are fashion-forward, plugged into street style trends, active on social media, and in tune with pop culture and trends. Teen Vogue, Nylon, and I-D appeal to Gen Z readers who care about fashion, culture, and social relevance, while Complex and Hypebeast attract the sneakerhead and streetwear community. OOH placements in high-traffic urban areas and near event venues allow the activation to reach the audience in real life at key cultural moments, reinforcing visibility and encouraging social sharing.

Strategy Note

“The Kicks Tour” connects with the Gen Z audience by keeping the message playful, curious, trendy, and easy to remember. Gen Z has a short attention span and needs a quick, smart line to associate things with. The tagline shows that the sneaker pop-up is on the move and creates a sense of energy and curiosity. Using the word “tour” ties the campaign to live events, music festivals, and sports competitions, where Gen Z spends time, and shares experiences online. The word “kicks” is a trendy way to refer to shoes among the demographic. The language highlights creativity while showing urgency and relevance.
