The Manchester Scene.The Kickers limited edition FAC51 Hacienda boots resurfaced in 2008.
The boots are part of Kickers' Sound of Style range, with a pair of boots representing key dates in its four-decade history. The FAC51 is obviously representing the 80s, with the Hacienda logo on the heel and tongue and the 08 88 highlighting the arrival of house music at the legendary club. Many fans of the shoe were from diverse and contemporary musical backgrounds such as UK Garage, R'n'B and hip-hop. Kickers really gained its popularity when Kick - Hi's were heraled by icons on the Manchester music scene.

According to the spiel, Kickers were the 'unofficial uniform' of the club at the time, trainers being a no go at the time.
Heritage Influence.
The Kick Hi boot was released in 1975. It was the late 80’s scene, first with acid house and then later with trance music. Over the years Kickers has been associated with the music industry, including Ms Dynamite, So Solid Crew, Jarvis Cocker, Noel Gallagher, Mike Skinner, Arctic Monkeys, Craig David and Rodney P. The heritage element of Kickers is the vocal point of the brand which enables them to reconnect with consumers on the music scene. Nevertheless the brand should also consider a contemporary influence on the music scene as well as adopting more innovative collaborations for the older consumer.
