Kith and Colette are two of the most famous concept stores in the world. In addition to selling desirable and exclusive clothing and accessories, they are also true “centers of cultural dissemination.” Colette has established itself in Paris as the must-visit store for all enthusiasts of style, fashion, and design since 1997. While Kith, based in Manhattan and Brooklyn, has been the paradise for all streetwear lovers since 2011.

Together, the two have collaborated with Puma for the summer 2016 collection, a limited edition Kith x Colette, which features two iconic sneakers from the sports brand, the Blaze of Glory and the Disc Blaze, reimagined by Ronnie Fieg, one of the most influential sneaker heads in the world and founder of Kith. The first is embellished with a velcro closure on the forefoot and the use of nubuck to cover the upper, while the second is made of perforated leather and suede. Not only that, the capsule collection, available from June 14, also includes four clothing items created by Kith, such as the new Madison II Jacket with an asymmetric design and a retractable hood, the Williams Hoody, a minimal pullover made of cotton, a T-shirt with the classic Kith logo, a pack of 3 T-shirts, and a range of accessories including the Mini Logo Hat, the Stance Fusion Performance boxers and socks.

For music enthusiasts, the two concept stores have redesigned the famous Beats Pill+ portable speakers and the new Beats Powerbeats2 Wireless earphones in Colette’s colors (blue and white) and the logo of the special collaboration.
