In a nutshell
Streetwear store that pays homage to its sneaker heritage with a first floor display dedicated to footwear.
In their words
"Kith operates on two planes - a multifunctional lifestyle brand for men, women, and kids, as well as a progressive retail establishment. Our eight brick-and-mortar flagship stores were designed in partnership with Snarkitecture, as we push the boundaries to deliver customers a completely unique experience"
Visit Field notes
A footprint that's "all window" (wide and shallow) means that store is not as large as expected, however it's light - especially the upper footwear floor. A cafe and a slightly-random "event space" (with the feel of an unloved double garage) completes the offering. Not a destination but worth looking in passing. The Brooklyn store is more of a brand expression. They have a Kith Treats cafe on the 1st floor.
This store opened in 2017 and still has a loyal following even as they expand to Brooklyn (with their impressive Williamsburg store experience) and west into Soho with their Kids Store.
