Kith and Assouline are commemorating the brand’s fifteenth anniversary with Kith: The Footwear Archive, a 444-page catalogue raisonné built around the category that first defined Ronnie Fieg’s creative practice. The volume brings together more than 1,800 collaborative footwear models, including unreleased prototypes and developmental pairs from Fieg’s archive.
Documented by longtime Kith collaborator Tyler Mansour, the book traces fifteen years of projects with Adidas, Asics, Clarks Originals, Moncler, New Balance, Nike, On, Timberland, and more through one consistent visual lens. It is the largest volume in Assouline’s Ultimate and Classics Collection to date.
The true DNA of the brand and what I do creatively started with footwear. This book is proof that we built something that didn’t exist before. — Ronnie Fieg, Kith Founder and Creative Director
The book is split into two halves. The first presents 700 released pairs through elevated photography, while the second indexes the archive chronologically by brand, following each project from initial concept to final product. Together, the sections show the continuity of Fieg’s point of view across every category, partnership, and era.
Throughout my career, I’ve pressured myself to approach each product as a notch in my timeline—to believe the decisions I made on any given day would reverberate years later and create cohesion across my catalog, says Fieg.
With unprecedented access to the archive, Kith: The Footwear Archive becomes both a comprehensive record of Kith’s first fifteen years and a sourcebook for the brand’s design ethos and broader industry impact. “I think about the twenty-year book, the thirty-year book. Everything I work on now is part of that story,” says Fieg.
The Brooklyn exhibition will place every footwear model from the book on public display for the first time. The presentation will also give guests an early opportunity to purchase the Classic edition before its global launch. The Kith: The Footwear Archive exhibition takes place at 25 Kent Avenue, 6th Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11249, from September 25th through the 27th, 12PM to 6PM daily.
