Kith triumphantly reopens its iconic Manhattan flagship on May 16, 2025, following an extensive renovation that masterfully intertwines historic architecture with contemporary sophistication, redefining luxury retail. This grand revival marks a pivotal chapter for the brand, celebrating its legacy while forging its future.

Founder Ronnie Fieg has teamed up once again with New Balance to introduce the exclusive collaborative sneaker silhouette, the ABZORB 2010. Merging New Balance’s heritage with avant-garde innovation, the design features premium pig suede and nubuck overlays, blending retro aesthetics with cutting-edge technology. Adorned with signature Kith detailing, it will debut exclusively at the flagship on opening day.

Coinciding with the relaunch, Kith unveils its Summer 2025 collection, showcasing sophisticated menswear, accessories, and footwear that highlight the brand’s creative progression. The range launches in-store and globally via Kith.com and the Kith App.

Nestled at 337 Lafayette Street within a historic Landmark district, the redesigned space seamlessly blends preservation with modern luxury. The store’s intentional layout transitions from earthy ground-floor tones to airy upper-level finishes, guided by meticulous craftsmanship.

The ground floor presents Kith’s core menswear on satin brass fixtures and custom leather shelving, anchored by Nero Marquina marble flooring with brass inlays—a convergence of craftsmanship and modern fashion. Ascending to the second level, dark walnut walls transition into light oak, framing curated multi-brand offerings in an atmosphere of refined contrast.

Stone elements serve as a cornerstone of the aesthetic: beveled Varias Green marble portals frame entrances with striking elegance, while Mountain White Danby stone elevates surface transitions. The third floor, dedicated to footwear, features herringbone wood guiding visitors past meticulously arranged displays. Varias Green marble benches and walnut seating with brass accents harmonize with the warm, inviting palette.

A sculptural statement staircase, crowned by a barrel-vault ceiling, connects each level, its curated lighting and rich textures amplifying the luxurious ambiance. The redesign also introduces the Kith & Kin Crest logo—emblematic of unity and heritage—artfully integrated into leather walls and light fixtures.

Outside, the Kith Treats window entices passersby with exclusive desserts, including the new Metropolitan Cronut®—a homage to the reopening and New York’s culinary legacy.

Following the May 16 in-store launch, limited ABZORB 2010 pairs will release online and at other Kith locations on May 19 at 11AM EST/CET. With quantities strictly limited, it stands among the season’s most coveted releases.

The Summer 2025 collection and flagship relaunch epitomize Kith’s evolution while honoring its origins. More than a retail refresh, this moment is a testament to a brand pioneering the convergence of fashion, community, and culture.
