Sticks & Kicks Holiday Shoe Drive

Marshawn Guest Bartending at Eight Lounge.

It’s a Wrap! Sticks & Kicks Holiday Shoe Drive at Eight Lounge: High-Tops, Cigar Smoke & Giving Back

The holidays just got a whole lot cooler. This December, Eight Lounge is flipping the script on your usual cocktail-and-cigar night by hosting a heartfelt and stylish shoe drive. Welcome to Sticks & Kicks Holiday Shoe Drive, thrown down in partnership with former NFL star aand Eight Lounge member Marshawn Lynch and his charity Fam1st Family Foundation (alongside Goodie Two Shoes Foundation). This is an evening that fuses sneaker culture with generosity, community love, and a full dose of lounge-level vibes.

What’s the deal with Sticks & Kicks?

The event goes down Thursday, Dec. 11 at 8:00 p.m. at Eight Lounge.
Guests are asked to bring brand-new, boxed and tagged youth sneakers (unwrapped!). Those kicks will all be donated to local Las Vegas kids.
Donations go to Fam1st (Marshawn’s foundation) and Goodie Two Shoes, which supports disadvantaged kids, particularly those at Title I schools in Clark County, giving them new shoes, socks, and other essentials. Vegas 24 Seven+1

But wait… there’s more than just giving

Because this is Vegas, and this is Eight Lounge, the night comes with all the flavor, style, and swagger you’d expect:

A live DJ J-Krazy will set the tone, spinning fresh beats for sneakerheads and cigar fans alike. Vegas 24 Seven
From 8–9 p.m., there’s a hosted bar serving up cocktails that match the vi like espresso martinis, bourbon-forward specials, and lounge-ready favorites.
Donation = entry: Everyone who rolls through gets a raffle ticket, and for every additional pair of sneakers donated, you get extra entries. Get past five boxes? You’re entered for a special grand prize. Prize promos are tied to sneaker-sponsor partners like a local sneaker store and, yes, even the sneaker-powered legacy of Marshawn’s own brand. Vegas 24 Seven+1
And of course, Eight lounge itself: 7,000 sq ft of sleek cigar bar, a walk-in humidor with premium sticks, a spacious terrace overlooking the Strip, custom cocktails, and that signature Eight Lounge elegance.

Why this matters and why you should care

It’s more than a club night. It’s an opportunity to make someone’s holiday. Local underserved kids get new sneakers, maybe for the first time. That’s real impact, right there.
It blends two worlds often seen separate: sneaker culture and cigar lounges. Sticks & Kicks turns that tension into synergy, celebrating style, generosity, and community in one room.
You get to show up, contribute, but also have an unforgettable night. Music, drinks, chances to win, all wrapped up in unforgettable Eight style. For folks who know Las Vegas nightlife, that’s a rare combo.

So… you in?

If you’re in Vegas and reading this, definitely consider swinging by. Bring a new pair (or more) of youth sneakers, show up with an open heart (and maybe a pair of fresh socks), and enjoy a dope night of beats, community love, and lounge vibes.
