Kith: when New York streetwear becomes a way of life

Some brands follow trends, and then there is Kith, the brand that writes them. Founded in New York by Ronnie Fieg, the label established itself within a decade as the benchmark for premium streetwear: hoodies with an impeccable drape, sneaker collaborations that became instant collectibles, and a vision of lifestyle that reaches far beyond clothing. Wearing a Kith piece means embracing a certain idea of urban culture — demanding, refined, deeply New York. At MTHOR Shop, we curate the most sought-after pieces from the Kith collection: limited-edition sneakers, hoodies, crewnecks, tees and accessories. Every piece is inspected and authenticated by our team before shipping, then delivered across France and worldwide. Whether you are after your first Kith hoodie or a collaboration you cannot find anywhere else, this page brings together the best of the Kith universe, ready to wear.

The story of an icon: from sneaker salesman to global empire

The story of Kith NYC begins long before the first store opened. Ronnie Fieg cut his teeth at David Z, the New York footwear retailer where he climbed every rung of the ladder, from the stockroom to buying. That is where he developed an intimate understanding of sneakers and their culture, before signing his first acclaimed collaborations with ASICS — Gel-Lyte IIIs that traveled the world and established his name in the industry well before Kith even existed.

In 2011, Fieg opened his own store in Manhattan's Lower East Side. The name he chose, Kith, comes from the English expression “kith and kin” — friends and family. It says everything: the brand was built as a community before being a business. Considered architecture, a sharp selection, in-house products developed with an almost obsessive attention to detail — the store quickly became a cultural destination in its own right, where retail is lived as an experience.

What followed was an expansion as controlled as it was spectacular: Los Angeles, Tokyo, and a Kith store in Paris that sealed the brand's global standing. At the same time, Fieg kept extending the universe: Kith Treats, his cult cereal-bar concept, along with Kith Women and Kith Kids, which translate the house aesthetic for the whole family. Collaborations reach beyond sneakers to touch fashion (Versace), automotive (BMW) and American iconography (Coca-Cola).

Today, Kith holds a unique place in the landscape: neither a traditional luxury house nor a classic streetwear label, but a bridge between the two, with every release scrutinized by collectors around the world. From New York to Paris, Ronnie Fieg's name has become synonymous with streetwear elevated to the level of culture.

The Kith signature: premium fabrics, masterful cuts, precision-timed drops

What sets a Kith piece apart at first touch is the fabric. The brand works with materials noticeably heavier than market standards: dense fleece, Japanese cottons, finishes refined down to the invisible details — drawcords, eyelets, woven labels. A Kith hoodie or crewneck is recognizable by its structure, the way it holds its shape after washing, and that immediate feeling of quality that justifies its premium positioning. That is the whole philosophy of “elevated streetwear”: taking the codes of the street — the hoodie, the graphic tee, the sneaker — and executing them with a level of craftsmanship worthy of the great fashion houses.

When it comes to cuts, Kith cultivates contemporary, carefully worked silhouettes: controlled volumes, structured shoulders, proportions designed to fall just right — neither skinny nor caricaturally oversized. The color palettes, often inspired by precise cultural references, alternate between elegant neutral tones and bold seasonal colorways.

And then there is the release mechanic. Kith has turned the drop into a ritual: with its Monday Program, the brand unveils new capsules in limited quantities every week, on top of its major seasonal collections and headline collaborations. The result: most pieces sell out within minutes on the official site, and many are never restocked. That is exactly where MTHOR comes in: we give you access to Kith sneakers and apparel that have already sold out, with no virtual queue and no raffle, backed by the guarantee of an authenticated product.

Our Kith collection evolves with every drop and new arrival. Here are the references that define it, from historic grails to pieces currently available at MTHOR:

FAQ — Kith at MTHOR

Are the Kith pieces sold at MTHOR authenticated?

How do Kith clothes fit?

Kith cuts are contemporary and slightly generous: a hoodie or crewneck in your usual size will give an ample, structured drape, true to the brand's aesthetic. If you prefer a more fitted look, you can go one size down.
