It doesn't mean anything.
Kicks is slang for shoes, but you only hear "pumped up kicks" in the song. It's supposed to mean "expensive shoes" I guess.

Expensive shoes/Shoes that cost a lot of money; It's not common to say 'pumped up kicks'

"Kicks" was popular slang in the 90s. It's no longer used except in that one song.
