In less than one and a half decades, Ronnie Fieg has built Kith into a lifestyle empire. From sought-after sneaker collaborations to premium fashion collections, Kith has continued to take its offerings to the next level. Now, following its new members’ club and a New York Yankees collaboration featuring Jason Alexander, Fieg has announced Kith’s newest flagship store: Kith Chicago.
A new Instagram post from Fieg details not only Kith Chicago, but an eight-shoe ASICS collection that will debut at the store. Bridging the cities of New York and Chicago is a common thread: the World’s Fair. This international exposition has been held in both cities over the years and serves as inspiration for the aforementioned ASICS project. After working through 36 sneaker samples, a selection of eight has been made, with premium finishes nodding to various cities and countries. Four GEL-LYTE IIIs, a GEL-LYTE III.I, GEL-MAI, GEL-KAYANO 12.1, and a Chicago flag-themed GEL-KAYANO 14 have been prepared with special co-branding scattered throughout.
For those looking to shop Kith’s new “World’s Fair” collection, it is set to debut via Kith Chicago on Saturday, October 4. From there, a global launch is said to be taking place. Ahead of the store’s grand opening on the 4th, a special event at the flagship will be taking place on the 3rd, featuring a Ronnie Fieg-featured ASICS panel, several ASICS collections on display, and more. Access to the event will be distributed to select Kith Loyalty members who enter an upcoming drawing. Stay tuned for more info and a complete look at the collection.
