One of the biggest names in the streetwear industry, Kith, has made its debut in Toronto with its new flagship store.
The store opened on Sept. 22 in the Yorkville neighbourhood. The New York-based brand carries Kith’s in-house and multi-brand, ready-to-wear apparel, accessories, and footwear for men, women, and kids. While shopping, customers can also enjoy the in-store Kith Treats bar and Sadelle’s restaurant.
Founder, CEO, and Creative Director Ronnie Fieg designed the two-story flagship using “signature elements of Kith’s retail concept, adjusted with unique details that speak to its bespoke setting.”
According to a press release, the space was curated to look clean, modern and elegant with materials that include Venetian Plaster, Alba Chiara and Verias Green Marble.
When customers walk in, they will notice the first floor is for men and women’s apparel and accessories, while the second floor features footwear, an exclusive Kith Kids section, Kith Treats, and Sadelle’s.
In celebration of the launch, Kith organized an opening night party for where Toronto R&B duo Majid Jordan made a surprise appearance and performed for the crowd. The pair sang their popular hits “Her” and “Gave Your Love Away.”
As a welcome gift to Toronto fans, Kith also worked with New Balance to reinterpret the 1700 silhouette in two new colorways inspired by the city.
“Each colorway features a premium pigskin leather upper with a padded collar seen on the interior. The Kith classic logo is seen at the rear while each style retains its key elements such as side-panel N logos, branding at the tongue and a rubber outsole,” the brand said in a statement.
The Roccoco Red colorway is available to customers starting today exclusively at the Kith Toronto flagship.
On Monday, the brand will launch a limited supply of the Rococco Red colorway on its American, European and Canadian websites, as well as the Marshmallow colourway.
The store is located at 78 Yorkville Ave. and is open from 11 a.m to 8 p.m Monday to Saturday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays.
