The Faces of KI Social Hour

At Kicking It in San Antonio, the experience goes beyond sneakers. Inside the shop you’ll find something you don’t see in most sneaker boutiques — a fully functioning bar designed to bring community together through culture, conversation, and craft drinks.

In this edition of Behind the Bar, we’re highlighting two of the personalities who help shape that experience every night: @tholmes0127 and @dopedarkgirl1017 from the KI Social Hour Bar.

If you’ve spent time at the shop, you’ve likely seen them behind the counter mixing drinks, welcoming guests, and helping set the tone for the space. The bar was created to make Kicking It feel less like a traditional retail store and more like a place where people can actually spend time — whether you’re shopping sneakers, catching up with friends, or winding down after work.

The House Menu features a range of cocktails and specialty drinks that rotate with the seasons and events happening in the store. From Social Hour gatherings to sneaker drops and community events, the bar keeps the energy going well after the shopping is done.

The KI Social Hour bar reflects what Kicking It has always been about: bringing sneaker culture, hospitality, and community into one shared space. Instead of rushing in and out of a store, visitors can relax, grab a drink, and stay awhile.

So next time you’re pulling up to shop, take a moment to experience the other side of the store.

Grab a seat.
Order something from the House Menu.
And Kick It.
