Soccer lifestyle blog Kicks to the Pitch, along with premiere Hawaiian retailers In4mation and Paradise Soccer Club, have announced the debut of Kick and Rip – Soccer, Surf and Aloha by Steve Nazar, celebrating the work of the artist best known for creating the iconic T&C Surf Designs surfing characters. The soccer and surf pop-up shop and gallery will open on Friday, February 5th to coincide with Chinatown’s First Friday Honolulu Art Walk and will run all month long. Giving a distinct nod to Hawaii’s fast-growing niche soccer culture, the gallery and pop-up shop will feature some of Nazar’s well-known original T&C Surf Designs surfing characters modernized with soccer touches.
Launching in conjunction with Kick and Rip will be a limited-edition collection featuring a series of products highlighting the artwork of Nazar. Leading the collection will be a limited run of Stance socks, as well as graphic t-shirts, prints, pin sets, patches, stickers, soccer kits plus a limited run of skateboards. The collection will launch exclusively at In4mation Chinatown, 1154 Nuuanu Ave. Honolulu, HI on February 5th and will be celebrated with an opening event from 7PM to 11PM. Attendees will enjoy live music, giveaways by premium shoe care brand Jason Markk, a meet and greet with Steve Nazar and have the first opportunity to shop the collection, along with original T&C Surf Designs character prints and Nazar’s art.
The collection will also be available at Paradise Soccer Club and across all In4mation stores statewide, as well as online at www.shop.in4mants.com and www.paradisesoccerclub.com starting on February 12th. For more information, please visit www.kickstothepitch.com
