The new KITH x Team USA Olympic collection

"Looking at the calendar last December, the team and I knew this was going to be the year we took it up a notch. A major part of that plan was to announce that Kith has become an official partner of Team USA, and release a collection for the opening of our Tokyo flagship. But life doesn’t always go the way you plan, and this year certainly hasn’t gone the way anyone in the world would have thought. With the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 being pushed to next year, our collection was too."

With these words, Ronnie Fieg surprisingly announces via Instagram the news of the collaboration between KITH and Team USA Olympic. There are 4 items published so far, a preview of the collection as the designer underlines in his post. The two nylon jackets - in two different colors - have a quarter zip with a jacket-style pocket in the front. The KITH logo is in a box under the zip, while the best details are found on the sleeve: the colors of the American flag with a design reminiscent of an arrow and the tracksuit made by Reebok on the occasion of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.

The flag also returns in the lower part, while the USA stars and stripes stand out in the back accompanied by the 5 Olympic circles. Another not inconsiderable detail is the high-cut collar; here too there is the motif of the American flag printed on the lining. The baseball cap - black and white - is an integral part of the collection and matcha perfectly with the rest of the outfit made by KITH. Simplicity makes it perfect: KITH logo on the side and double USA logo plus Olympic rings.

The KITH x Team USA tracksuit will be available from July 24, both on the KITH online store and in selected retailers, at a cost of $ 195. Pants and hats, on the other hand, cost $ 175 and $ 65 respectively.
