About Kicks Machine

The love your sneaker deserves

Kicks Machine is India's destination for sneakers, luxury bags, streetwear, and the lifestyle accessories that finish the fit. We exist for one reason: so an Indian buyer can get the real thing, at a fair price, without flying to Dubai or gambling on a reseller app.

We started in 2021 with a simple frustration. The drops everyone wanted, the Jordans, the Dunks, the Sambas, the Yeezys, the designer bags, were either impossible to find in India or impossible to trust when you did find them. So we built the store we wished existed: one roof, real product, and a team that actually knows the culture.

How we got here

Kicks Machine was founded by Apoorv Kandwal and Aman Kandwal, two brothers who began with a two person operation and a clear idea. We chose Dehradun as our home base, not a metro, because we believed great sneaker culture in India does not start and stop in Mumbai and Delhi.

We are fully bootstrapped. No outside investors, no growth at any cost. Every decision is made by the people who answer your messages and pack your boxes. That is also why our catalogue grew the way it did. We did not sit in a room and decide to sell across categories. We watched what our community was already searching for.

As our co-founder Aman puts it: "We followed our community. If someone buys sneakers, they are already thinking about the rest of the outfit." That is how sneakers turned into bags, beauty, watches, and care products. Each category followed the customer, not a spreadsheet.

What we stock

Today Kicks Machine carries 50+ authenticated brands across the categories our community lives in:

  • Sneakers, the core of everything we do: Air Jordan, Nike Dunks, Air Force 1, Adidas Samba and Gazelle, Yeezy, New Balance, On Running, Hoka, ASICS, Salomon, and more.
  • Luxury footwear and bags: Balenciaga, Dior, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Off-White, Alexander McQueen, Golden Goose, plus Coach, Michael Kors, Prada, Marc Jacobs, Jacquemus, Loewe, Tory Burch, Kate Spade, and Telfar.

  • Sneaker care: the wipes, protectors, and laces that keep your pairs looking new.

Why people trust us with their grails

Authenticity is not a feature for us, it is the whole business. Sell one fake pair and we lose the customer, the community, and the brands we work with. The math only works if every single item is real, so we over invest in checks.

Every product that leaves us passes a 6 step in house verification: box label, stitching, materials, weight, SKU match, and original accessories. For high value or doubtful pieces, we run a second pass through CheckCheck and LegitApp, the same independent services used by global resale platforms. If a pair does not clear both, it does not ship.

On top of that:

  • Only brand new, never worn product, in original boxes with tamper proof seals.
  • All original accessories included: extra laces, hang tags, dust bags, and promotional items.
  • A free LegitApp authentication certificate on request, just email us before your order is dispatched.
  • A 100% money back guarantee if any item is ever found to be counterfeit.
