Welcome to the second edition of our new series KICKZ PICKZ in which we introduce our staff’s favorite items from the current collections. Last time we paid a visit to KICKZ Monaco, our oldest store. This time around we stayed in our headquarter and talked to 4 members of the family who work in various departments in the office. Our home base is located in the heart of Munich, Germany, very close to the infamous Theresienwiese which hosts the annual Oktoberfest, or Wiesn as we call it here. This can be very convenient but also a bit annoying if you travel to and from work by subway. Anyway, let’s meet some of the faces behind KICKZ.COM! Right before christmas our staff picks are also perfect if you’re looking for some inspiration on how to spend your christmas money.
