Kith Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear Collection
Kith's first fashion show since 2019 was scheduled to take place outside, in front of its first-ever flagship store on Lafayette street at 6:30pm. At precisely that same time one of those fantastical flash summer thunderstorms descended upon the city. When the show eventually got underway 45 minutes later, after Kith-branded clear umbrellas had been handed out, the rain had stopped, and Carmelo Anthony had taken his front-row seat it was obvious the mood in the crowd had not dulled. And as the first models stepped on the astro-turf runway repping the various New York teams which Kith is involved with—the Knicks, the Yankees, the Giants—it occurred to me that the rain was actually somehow perfect: this is what summers in New York City are like. 'We recently remodeled the Soho store, and I didn't want the moment to pass, I wanted to celebrate what an institution that space has become in the city,' Ronnie Fieg explained a few days before the show took place. It explains why although in recent seasons Fieg had been taking Kith collections into more adventurous territory—'boho-streetwear' was a recent descriptor used—this season felt like a return to classic Kith. Co-ed models looked cool in luxxe double-faced herringbone sweatsuits, baseball jerseys in cozy chenille, and logo'd bomber jackets were joined by a motocross theme, complete with flame-emblazoned tracksuits that felt exactly right for the moment. The sportswear was often seamlessly styled together with the smart tailoring that Fieg has been slowly introducing in the last few years (which culminated in a collaboration with Giorgio Armani). As is the mood of the moment, a kind of '80s mood permeated this offering, which included a women's pinstriped double-breasted suit with a jacket cropped at the hip, an ultra-elegant black trenchcoat with velvet-trimmed lapels worn over a velour tracksuit, and a white and tan bouclé car coat worn over matching shirt and trousers in a soft wool, with a tie tucked into the placket. Every look had an ease about the way it was put together, a testament to how well Fieg and his team know their customers. While the menswear looks did not seem like they were built as archetypes of 'city dwellers,' every single one of them felt like someone you could see as you make your way through the streets of Soho; the womenswear felt more editorial and less directly ripped-from-the-streets. Collaborations are a big part of the Kith universe, and there were plenty of terrific ones on display at the show: Birkenstocks with a braided trim on the sole, leopard-print Wallabees with Clarks, and 'classic' Wallabees that weren't classic at all because they were set on an Adidas Ultra Boost Sole. The Adidas of it all yielded some cool experiments, including suits with the tonal signature stripes running down the jacket sleeves and pant legs, and a Frankensteined denim-and nylon tracksuit/Canadian tuxedo ensemble. Next year, Kith will be celebrating its 15th anniversary, and if this show is any indication, Fieg is about to take us on quite the ride.

Asics, Clarks top StockX trend report
This story was originally published on Fashion Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Fashion Dive newsletter. Asics was the top selling sneaker brand on resale platform StockX during the first half of 2025, with 71% year over year growth, according to the resale platform's Midyear Trend Report. It's the second year in a row that Asics has taken the top spot in the report. StockX attributed the brand's uptick in growth to the popularity of the Gel-NYC model, which was the platform's top-selling silhouette in the first half of 2025. The Gel-1130 was also a growth driver, StockX said, adding that the GT-2160 silhouette helped as well, following collaborations with JJJJound, Kiko Kostadinov and Kith. The report, which is based on StockX global sales data, said that sneakers from designer Mihara Yasuhiro were the second most popular shoe brand, with trades for the brand up 63% year over year. Salomon returned to third place with 53% year-over-year growth after falling off the list in 2024. The brand was also in the number three spot in 2023. Its popular XT-6 silhouette helped drive growth. New colorways and collabs for the XT-Whisper silhouette also drove momentum, which 'is promising for Salomon, as so much of the brand's growth has historically relied on the XT-6,' StockX said. The top-selling collectibles brand was Pop Mart, thanks to its viral Labubu character, which set records for the category and has held its No. 1 spot since October 2024. 'The beginning of the Labubu craze coincided with the rise of bag charms, but it's also tied to a growing emphasis on blind box products,' StockX said in the release. 'The blind box model, which offers an element of surprise and discovery for buyers, is a tool that could be implemented in other categories as brands seek to refresh their drop models.' Labubu products saw more than twice as many sales in June compared to January, StockX said, and Labubu parent company Pop Mart set another new sales record in July. The trading platform also reported 2.4 million searches for 'Labubu' in the first six months of the year, per the release, which made 'Labubu' one of the top 10 most popular search terms during that time. 'This year's report underscores how both old and new brands are winning over consumers and finding success on our platform," StockX CEO Greg Schwartz said in the release. 'From the Labubu phenomenon to up-and-comers like Bravest Studios, there's great energy in the secondary market right now.' Nike's Total 90 3 SP soccer silhouette was the second most popular individual sneaker style, and Puma's Speedcat Ballet silhouette ranked third. In terms of nonsneakers, Timberland landed the top spot on the list, with trades for the brand up 123% year over year. Clarks took the number two spot, with trades up 58% for the half year period, due in part to recent collaborations with Human Made, Supreme, Martine Rose and musician Liam Gallagher, of the band Oasis. Bravest Studios made its first appearance on StockX's shoe brand list in the fifth spot, with trades up 32% year-over-year. Cactus Plant Flea Market was the top clothing brand, with trades up 328% year over year, thanks to an 'ongoing obsession with jerseys.' That trend also helped team branded apparel brand Mitchell & Ness grow 40% year over year, though the company didn't make the top five list. Fear of God was the second most popular apparel brand, with trades up 163% for the period, and apparel from musician Juice Wrld's brand was in the third spot, with trades up 144%. 'Also worth mentioning is the FC Barcelona x Travis Scott jersey that was released earlier this year to much fanfare,' StockX said. 'It boasts an average resale price of $910, the highest of any jersey on StockX.'

Kith & adidas Give The Superstar A "Black Tie" Remix
Name:Kith x adidas Black Tie 2.0Colorways:TBCSKUs:TBCMSRP:TBCRelease Date:Fall 2025Where to Buy:Kith Kithandadidashave unveiled a new collaboration, veering away from their athleisure realms for a 'Black Tie' capsule of Superstars finely crafted in Germany. Though pricing and release dates haven't been confirmed, details are expected to come this weekend, when Kith returns to the runway for the first time in 6 years. The model reinterprets a previous concept led by Fieg for adidas and David Z. 'In 2008, I released my first-ever collaboration with adidas called the 'Black Tie.' I worked on the Superstar, a classic silhouette I've always felt could be dressed up or down,' the designer shared onInstagram. Intending to create a sneaker that could be worn with a formal suit, Fieg designed a luxury triple black leather variant of the classic adidas silhouette. The new capsule includes five colorways centered on black leather uppers. The slight variations between each design offer stylistic flexibility, depending on the desired look. One might opt for the classic monochromatic leather for a traditional slant, while others might reach for the glossy crocodile-embossed variant for a more trend-forward style. Elsewhere, one variant features small touches of gold-embossed branding, another white, and others none at all — for a more discreet vibe. More familiar is the black variant with white overlays, evoking the model's more athletic roots. The fusion sneaker capsule teases Kith's greater Fall 2025 runway presentation, set to take place on August 17. With the highly formal introduction signals that the brand's return to the runway, titled 'Institution,' could be an elevation from previous collections. The photos shared by Fieg on Instagram show the designer wearing all-black formal wear, including a double-breasted blazer, trousers, a shirt, and a tie. 'When it came to debuting our Fall/Winter 2025 collections, there was no better way than to let people experience it in person. This show will feel different from our past ones, and I cannot wait to share what the team and I have been working overtime on with you,' Fied said. The Kith x Adidas Superstar 'Black Tie 2.0' is set for release alongside the Fall 2025 collection, to be unveiled on Sunday's runway show. Stay tuned to Hypebeast for updates on the collection.

Kith to Hold Fall 2025 Runway Show "Institution" Later This Week
Summary Ronnie FiegandKithare set to return to the runway for their first show since 2019, an event poised to be a major highlight of theFall 2025season. Titled 'Institution,' the show will take place on Sunday, August 17 in New York City, and serve as a statement on the brand's enduring legacy and influence in the fashion world. The event, which is being held outside of the official New York Fashion Week calendar, is a testament to Kith's self-made status. The title 'Institution' reflects the brand's journey from a small sneaker boutique to a global lifestyle empire over the last decade and a half. The invitation itself—a limited-edition Kith x adidas Superstar 'Black Tie' sneaker—is a deliberate nod to Ronnie Fieg's own origin story, referencing his very first collaboration with adidas years before he founded Kith. The show is expected to preview the Fall 2025 collection, which will be a mix of Kith's signature silhouettes and a host of unannounced collaborations. While the specific location is being kept under wraps, the audience is an exclusive mix of press and close friends of the brand. This runway show is not just about clothes; it's a celebration of Kith's journey and a clear signal that the brand is ready to cement its place as a permanent fixture in the fashion industry. The show comes after Kith reopened its three-level NoHo flagship on New York City's Lafayette Street back in May.
