Just For Kicks is a name with several chapters in music and media, but the most enduring connection for local fans is the 1990s pop-punk trio from Grand Rapids, MI, known by the abbreviation JFK. Though the original band is largely defunct, their early-’90s releases and hometown tours left a lasting imprint on the Grand Rapids music scene. In addition to music, the name has appeared in sneaker documentaries and television projects unrelated to the band, including the 2005 film Just for Kicks and a Nickelodeon series from 2006.
