Reshaping Equity in the Heart of Texas

Kicking It isn’t just reshaping the way people engage with sneaker culture—it’s also part of a growing movement of businesses owned and operated by people who reflect the makeup of their communities.

In Texas, over 59% of bar and restaurant owners identify as people of color, outpacing the national average of 30% across all private industries. This shift represents more than numbers—it signals a long-overdue expansion of access, opportunity, and representation in industries that have historically been gatekept.

Kicking It takes pride in being part of that shift. Co-founded by Greg Grovey and Super Bowl champion Earl Thomas, the brand brings together equitable ownership, culture, and excellence through its products and the entire customer experience. The bar at Kicking It’s San Antonio location isn’t just a vibe; it’s a space intentionally built to invite people in, create belonging, and push against the idea that premium retail or nightlife culture should cater to only one crowd.

By designing spaces that feel familiar, welcoming, and inclusive—whether you’re stopping by for the newest drop, a crafted cocktail, or a conversation—Kicking It makes space for everyone to be part of the culture.
