Kith Chicago
Kith is proud to announce the opening of its latest flagship, located in the heart of the Windy City—Chicago, Illinois.
Located right off the Magnificent Mile, Kith Chicago sits proudly with a beautiful leathered Belatrix Stone facade, framed with thick brass. Featuring two floors of Kith’s in-house offering and additional apparel, accessories, footwear, and lifestyle goods for men, women, and kids, Kith Chicago is also home to an all-new Kith Treats. Ronnie Fieg collaborated with architect Ben Porto of Porto Architecture to execute Fieg’s design vision to bring this flagship to life.
Visitors are surrounded by dark walnut millwork and a coffered ceiling when they enter the first floor of the space, housing Kith, additional brands, and footwear for men. There is Belvedere flooring complete with Montclair Danby marble bordering and apparel niches lined with custom K&K Crest embossed velvet and leather wallcovering. Displayed prominently along the center of the store are monolithic Belvedere caseworks displaying Kith’s lifestyle accessories, and jewelry on one side. On the opposite side features Men’s footwear accompanied by custom Mark Jupiter walnut benches.
Ascend the statement staircase made of the same dark walnut and Montclair Danby marble found on the steps as the main space to enter the second floor—warmth and hospitality speaks loudest at the stairs, especially with the large gallery wall made of custom K&K wallcovering panels and dark walnut wainscotting, softened with plaster. The gallery wall features over thirty curated photographs from Chicago-based artists showcasing the city’s beautiful cityscape and textures.
The second floor is dedicated to Kith Women, additional women’s brands, footwear, and Kith Kids, featuring a lighter space that contrasts the men’s floor. Adorning the top of the staircase is a custom chandelier centerpiece consisting of over thirty-times individual pendants hanging in a helix formation, captivating guests and evoking a new feeling upon entering into the women’s space. Visitors are charmed with the oak trimmed lime wash ceilings, Rosa Aurora Macchia Vecchia marble lined walls, and Rosa Aurora floor inset with an oak herringbone band. The apparel niches along the perimeter of the room are made of custom oak millwork embellished with Verde Jasmine marble frames. Displayed against the large store front windows is Women’s footwear and just opposite of it is a room dedicated to Women’s handbags and accessories.
The Women’s Accessories Room is an intimate, soft space lined with tufted wallpaper, custom Rosa Aurora Macchia Vecchia jewelry vitrines and handbag display, and a mosaic tile floor. Throughout the store, guests will find a few more intimate spaces like this, such as the Kid’s Room—distinguished by its signature cloud motif archway and multi-colored stone flooring. And lastly, Kith Treats is found across the way with dedicated seating, the perfect last stop for visitors to take a beat and enjoy the view of the store.
To commemorate the opening of Kith Chicago, Kith created a special capsule of apparel and accessories, comprising tees, hoodies, crewnecks, and headwear in collaboration with ‘47, completed by exclusive Kith Chicago artwork as the Monday Program™ offering on September 29th, available on Kith.com. Ronnie Fieg for ASICS also introduce a celebratory footwear pack titled “World’s Fair” as a nod to the shared heritage of the World's Fair between Chicago (1933-1934) and Queens (1939, 1964), highlighted by new iterations of the GEL-LYTE III, Fieg’s signature silhouette, the return of the GEL-KAYANO 12.1, and the introduction of the Mai 0.1 and the GEL-LYTE 3.1. Ronnie Fieg for ASICS World’s Fair will be the following Monday Program™ on October 6th. Kith Chicago will also receive an exclusive collection available only in-store on October 3rd, featuring artwork inspired by Chicago landmarks.
