Like fancy sneakers? How about breakfast? If you answered “yes” to either, you’ll love Kith.
A must-stop shop for the stylish guy living in or visiting NYC, designer Ronnie Fieg has curated a retail experience boasting a super-strong style point of view. Expect to encounter fashion-conscious sneakers and clothes you’ll want to walk out of the store wearing. With two retail storefronts, one in Manhattan and the other in Brooklyn, Fieg is quickly covering the boroughs’ bases.
Even better? Taking the trend of having a coffee shop / barber / acupuncturist / bonzai tree trimmer in-store, Kith Brooklyn ups the game with – wait for it – a cereal bar.
Yup, from 7am onwards, sneaker-loving, breakfast-needing folks can stop in for Kith Treats: choosing from 24 cereals, 25 toppings, and 5 kinds of milk – all packaged in a fun, takeaway box. It’s weird. It’s great. It’s cereal.
Who started it
Aaron ‘Ronnie’ Fieg is a NYC-based designer, best known for his frequent collaborations with Sebago and Asics.
At 13, a job as a stock boy for footwear chain David Z kicked off a passion for footwear. From these humble beginnings, Fieg has since gone on to collaborate with a bevy of brands including Adidas, Clarks, Converse, Herschel Supply, New Balance, Polo Ralph Lauren, PUMA, Red Wings, Saucony, Sebago, Shades of Grey by Micah Cohen, Timberland and more. Yeah, the guy’s been busy.
He opened Kith NYC and Kith Brooklyn in 2011, with the latter recently undergoing a beautiful renovation for its 3,000-square-foot space.
Who it‘s for
The fashion guy-slash-sneakerhead. And anyone who really, really likes cereal.
Don’t miss
They’ll be carrying Kanye West’s Adidas line, so if you’re hard up for the Yeezy Season 1, get ready to get in line.

Super impressive guy! Who doesn’t love cereal and an awesome store?
Hmmm… Breakfast AND clothing? Why hadn’t anyone THOUGHT of that?! It’s incredible!
That being said, like the blue-and-black (or white-and-gold?) biker shown here but LOVE the bombers they have, from their house brand that comes in multiple colors to the black twill Helmut Lang number. Just plain epic!
And fashion sneakers mixed with simple, everyday wear (e.g. pared-down bomber, henley & dark jeans) = WIN!
I’d incorporate them with a simple jeans + white tee combo. Basic is almost always best.

I like wearing flash sneakers with joggers and a simple tee shirt. Nothing too bold because I’d want people to notice my shoes.
Jogger + bold sneakers is the ultimate combo
At first I thought this was going to be a Kids in the Hall-themed store and I was ready to move to BK.
Fashion sneaks aren’t quite for me, but that Sebago certainly is. I’ll always support another Aaron, though.
love the kith asics collab, but I met ronnie in real life. not a very pleasant guy
