Here’s how to find Kicks in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. is full of returning characters. There’s Isabelle and Tom Nook, of course, but there are also merchants like the Able Sisters, Sable and Mable. And of course, there’s the fast-talking shoe salesman skunk, Kicks. Kicks got his start in Animal Crossing: City Folk as an almost Dickensian shoe shiner (which somehow also magically changed the color of your shoes). Starting in New Leaf, Kicks got out of the shining game and started selling shoes and socks. Now in New Horizons, Kicks is back as a traveling merchant. He doesn't have a brick and mortar store, but he shows up every once in a while to hock his wares, which include a variety of shoes, socks, and new handbags. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY Getting Kicks to start showing up isn't too hard. First, you have to upgrade your Residential Services Plaza to the point where it offers building in an open plaza area. After that, you'll need to construct the Able Sisters' Shop. Once done, Kicks will start appearing on a weekly basis. via Gamerant Kicks Unfortunately, Kicks' appearances are completely random. He'll show up at least once per week, but which day isn't dependent on anything. You'll just have to show up to town every day to see if Kicks is around. On the plus side, when Kicks is in town, he'll stick around from 8 AM to 10 PM to provide you with plenty of time to catch him. He’ll always appear in the town plaza, and usually in front of the Able Sisters’ Shop. Keep in mind that Kicks’ wears are unique in that the Able Sisters will never sell the shoes, socks, or handbags that Kicks offers.
