The new KITH x Team USA collection with Olympic legends From Jason Kidd to Aaron Peirsol for a drop between extravagance and elegance

Exactly one year ago, KITH announced the collaboration between Ronnie Fieg's brand and the Olympic selection of the United States of America. After 356 days, KITH has unveiled a reworking of the items that had been designed for last year's Olympics, involving legends who over the years have contributed to making the USA medal table almost unattainable: from Jason Kidd and Deron Williams (two member of the 2008 Redeem Team) to Aaron Peirsol who closed his three Olympics in the pool with five golds and two silvers, up to one of the strongest pairs of women's beach volleyball ever as Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May Treanor ( three golds in three participations). A collection, that KITH x Team USA, which is made up of some incredible items: special uniforms for basketball players, tracksuits for athletics competitions, a fur coat and a jacket complete with Olympic hoops worn by D-Will and the new coach of the Mavericks, hoodies and a full kit of luggage.

The capsule is part of a larger project that involves minorities present in Tokyo 2020, adding to the collaborations already made with HBO, with the New York Knicks and with Vogue. In the collection Ronnie Fieg has chosen to alternate the elegant and simple style with the exuberance that is often part of the stars and stripes style. The perfect demonstration of this is the bathing kit created in co-branding with Team USA and the jacket that both Kidd and Williams wear in the shooting, which uses the colors of the United States flag to create a unique effect.

 

The entire collection will be available on kith.com and releases will arrive between July 26th and July 30th.
