KIVI began with a love for traditional shoemaking and a respect for the sport of Olympic weightlifting. As a craftsperson, with 10 years of experience as a Bespoke Shoemaker, I wanted to bring handmade techniques and premium materials into a space where performance is everything. Being surrounded by world champion weightlifters where I train, gave me a unique insight into what athletes truly need from their footwear - stability, trust, and lasting quality.

KIVI exists to unite these two worlds: heritage craft and elite performance. Each pair is made in Britain, with patience, precision, and pride.
