Girls Got Kicks Book Tour Bodega Stop

No way Girls Got Kicks would be half as good without fab photographer Amanda Lopez! It was great to have her come out to the East Coast for our Boston and NYC parties.

Bodega is always a great spot to have an event at, and we're proud to say GGK brought in a lot of first time customers...

Like Imani...

and Elena...

But not these featured artists, Sarah Sabino (L) and Olmis Sanchez, who took time off from working at other sneaker stores (shhhhh) to come celebrate the book!

New Girls Got Kicks tees for sale at events (and coming soon on the website!)

Thanks Bodega, and everyone who came through! And thanks to Amanda who sent these pics. For more shots from the party, click here. For updates on the next tour stops, click here.

Cali Love exhibit by Amanda Lopez

Amanda Lopez is a tremendously gifted photographer who some might recognize from her fantastic photos in our upcoming Girls Got Kicks book. Her ability to capture a person's spirit and sense of identity is amazing.

Inspired by the dia de los muertos (day of the dead) celebration, CaliLOVE, Amanda’s latest body of photographic work addresses more than the concept of death. Instead, Lopez’s portraits reveal and celebrate the preciousness of life. The artist’s first series captured completely indoors, CaliLove addresses the vastness of human experience and individuality. Viewers are called to witness the unique reactions and idiosyncrasies comprising the process of living as well as each individual’s way of coping with the uncertainty of life in the face of death. Within each photograph, CaliLOVE aims to capture this juncture between life, death and the everyday choices that define who we are and where we are headed.
