Kane Footwear Announces Partnership With Six-Time Crossfit Games Athlete Kari Pearce — and Reveals Their Recovery Shoe Collaboration
Kane Footwear announced today that it has entered into a partnership with six-time CrossFit Games competitor Kari Pearce. What’s more, the active recovery brand revealed a shoe collab with the athlete.
Pearce is a lifelong athlete, and prior to her CrossFit career she was a competitive gymnast at the University of Michigan. Her highest finish at the CrossFit Games came in 2020, when she placed third overall, and she has placed in the top 10 a total of five times.
Kane said in a statement that her experience in gymnastics and competitive fitness have taught her the importance of taking care of yourself, making her an ideal ambassador for the brand.
“Pearce’s dedication to self-love and self-care make her the perfect addition to the Kane team,” Kane Footwear founder and CEO John Gagliardi said in a statement. “Not only is she an exceptional, award-winning athlete — she recognizes the importance of having a strong physical and mental game. At Kane, we know that recovery takes intentionality. Pearce embodies that intentionality perfectly.”
This dedication to self-love comes through in her motto: “Love Your Body, Love Yourself.” These words appear on her collaborative Kane Revive shoe. For her collaboration, Pearce dressed the uppers of the Kane Revive in black upper, and completed the look with a rainbow speckled sole unit.
“The Kane collaboration is very meaningful to me because when people look at this shoe right before they put it on, they will see ‘Love Your Body, Love Yourself,'” Pearce said in a statement. “That is part of why you are putting on the shoe. Either you are going for a walk or hike, getting ready to workout, or just finished a workout or maybe you just want to show your feet some love. You are caring for your body which is one of the best forms of self love there is. Also the KP on the back is there to remind you that you aren’t alone and I’m cheering you on each step the entire way.”
The Kari Pearce x Kane Revive is available now via Kanefootwear.com and retails for $85.
