New York Kicks 3.5” sew on patch

A snapshot of the city in one frame.

New York Kicks stitches together three unmistakable symbols of NYC life: pigeons on a telephone wire, sneakers hanging overhead, and the culture that lives between them.

The pigeons represent the city’s most resilient residents—ever-present, unbothered, and woven into the daily rhythm of New York. The hanging shoes nod to 1970s street folklore, when wires told stories about neighborhoods, eras, and unwritten rules. And “kicks” speaks to sneaker culture—where footwear is identity, status, and self-expression, born on these streets and exported worldwide.

Fully embroidered and ready to be sewn on, this 3.5” patch is equal parts history, style, and attitude.

A quiet flex for those who understand the language of the city.
