Kicks is a skunk in the Animal Crossing series. He first appears in Animal Crossing: City Folk, where he shines the player's shoes in the city. In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Pocket Camp, and New Horizons, he sells shoes and socks at his own shop or stall. His name is a slang term for sneakers, referring to his shoe-related businesses.
Characteristics[edit]
Appearance[edit]
Kicks is a skunk with black and white fur, as well as a tan nose and insides of his ears. He wears a beige hat and suspenders. In his appearance in City Folk, he is depicted without a shirt. This depiction of Kicks is his Lv. 2 outfit in the Board Game for amiibo Festival. Since New Leaf, he wears a white collar shirt beneath his suspenders. When talking, he will move his nose up and down, similar to Tom Nook, Timmy and Tommy, the Able Sisters, anteaters, and Redd.
Personality[edit]
Kicks is implied to speak with a Cockney accent; for example, he pronounces "alright" as "awright" or "hello" as "'allo," and frequently uses words such as "mate," "crikey," and "chum."
Appearances[edit]
In City Folk[edit]
In Animal Crossing: City Folk, Kicks appears on the steps of a run-down building in the city to the right of the auction house. He can shine the player's shoes for 500 Bells, changing the color of the shoes. He asks the player how they want to match their shoe color to their current appearance: "Go by color" or "Match my style." After the player has their shoes shined 16 times, Kicks allows them to choose shoe types of the opposite gender.
Kicks's services are available from 9 AM to 9 PM and he does not appear when it is raining or snowing.
In New Leaf[edit]
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Kicks opens an eponymous shop on Main Street once the player has spent 8,000 Bells at the Able Sisters and lived in town for ten days. The shop sells shoes and socks.
In the Welcome amiibo update, Kicks can appear in his RV at the campground when his amiibo is scanned. Kicks's pic can also be obtained from Wisp after his amiibo is scanned.
In New Horizons[edit]
In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Kicks visits the plaza at least every two weeks if the Able Sisters is built and Resident Services is upgraded to a building. He sets up a stall that sells shoes, socks, and bags. With the release of the 2.0 update, Kicks also has a shop open at the plaza on Harv's Island.
Items sold by Kicks in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Kicks's poster can be obtained from Nook Shopping after inviting him to Photopia via his amiibo.
Prior to its removal in version 2.0, when the player scans Kicks's amiibo card and tries to invite him, he will say:
'Allo? Kicks here. Hm? Player, is it? What's the good word, my chum.
Swing by the ol' campsite? Maybe... Nah. 'Fraid I'm drownin' in work. Shoes don't shine themselves.
Don't go takin' this is wrong way. Got it, chum? Honestly, thanks for thinkin' of me!
In amiibo Festival[edit]
Kicks appears as a playable character in the Board Game mode of Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival.

Description | NTSC-U: Crikey! This shoeshine has really come up in the world. He used to work in a faraway city, but now he runs a shoe store with an impressive collection of shoes to choose from. And you can tell from that sharp-looking hat he's wearing that his is a style you can trust. PAL: Hello, chum! This friendly shoe shop owner used to shine shoes in the city, but now he's managed to save up enough money for his own little shop in town. His outfit might make him look like he sweeps chimneys for a living, but don't worry - you definitely won't find any soot on his wares, awright? | |
