Iconic American kids footwear brand, See Kai Run, has just made a giant stride into the southern hemisphere with the launch of its Australian and New Zealand website.
Until now, most Australians had to be content to covet See Kai Runs from a distance on the pages of celebrity magazines where famous offspring of mega stars such as Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Garner and Tobey MdGuire were photographed wearing their hip, happening shoes.Now the footwear brand has gone live with a new website for Australia and New Zealand, with stock releases timed to coincide with the seasons down under.
What are the origins of this coveted footwear brand ?There’s an old adage that necessity is the mother of invention.Cause Haun, a mom from West Seattle, was battling to find footwear for her toddler that was both comfortable and great to look at.She was looking for comfortable shoes with flexible soles that would give her own toddler the freedom to move.
When she was in China on trip, Cause was inspired by some shoes she saw there, so she brought a few pairs back to the US and they sold in a flash. In 2004, she started the company, named after her own son, Kai, and news of the groundbreaking kids’ shoes spread like wildfire through the virtual chatboards across America. The business grew over 400% in the first year, with three categories of children’s footwear now on offer : 0-18 months (‘Smaller’ range), 3 – 8 years (‘See Kai Run’) and 8 – 11 years (‘Eleven Collection’).
Modern classics could be a way of describing the unique style of See Kai Run’s urban children’s footwear.Even the chubbiest little feet will be comfortable in the hand-crafted sheepskin leather shoes, which are soft as butter with flexible rubber soles, Velcro closers and soft, supportive collars.
Each year, the company launches up to 20 new styles and the new Australian website will feature the new releases to coincide with the seasons down under. Bold, fun, unique, urban and individual, See Kai Run shoes are functional as well as fashionable. The footwear carries the prestigious seal of approval from the American Podiatric Medical Association, meeting stringent health and functionality standards.
