Kim Jayde Takes ‘Kickin’ It With Kim Jayde’ Global With Star-Studded Season 3 Premiere
Media personality, entrepreneur, and award-winning producer Kim Jayde is ending 2025 on a high note with the launch of the third season of her hit YouTube series, Kickin’ It With Kim Jayde. The highly anticipated season premieres on 6 November 2025, marking a major milestone as the show goes international for the very first time.
Following a year filled with career-defining moments — from gracing the red carpet at the London premiere of Sinners and winning multiple awards to hosting panels at the Cannes International Festival of Creativity in France — Jayde continues to cement her place as one of Africa’s most influential media figures.
A Global Step Forward
What started humbly in the sneaker queen’s closet has now evolved into a globally shot production, spanning five major cities — New York, Los Angeles, Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban.
“Past seasons were focused on sneaker culture. However, the show has evolved to focus more on profiling each of my notable guests and sharing their inspiring life stories and lessons.”

Empowering Through Storytelling
For Jayde, the evolution of the show reflects her mission to create content with depth and purpose.
“I didn’t want the show to be clickbait. This series removes the gatekeeping of success in the worlds of sport, fashion, and entertainment. It offers genuine insight and practical advice — the kind of content I wish I had when I was starting out.”
she explains
In true entrepreneurial spirit, Season 3 was fully self-funded and produced independently through her company, KJ Productions. Jayde also made a deliberate choice to work exclusively with African creatives, showcasing the continent’s world-class talent on a global platform.
“This international season is hosted, directed, produced, cast, and financed by yours truly. It’s the work I am most proud of to date.”
