KITH CELEBRATES 10TH ANNIVERSARY WITH VANS VAULT

by Stephen Garner

To celebrate Kith’s 10th anniversary, the New York-based brand has worked with Vans Vault to create adult and kids capsules that center around the OG Classic Slip-On LX.

Taking pride in its range of prints and graphics, Kith looks back at some of the custom patterns featured in their collection over the last ten years. Continuing the theme of “10”, Kith has created ten versions of the Slip-On LX for adults each featuring a different pattern.

Each style is offered in a canvas upper executed with an all-over Kith print. The left and right shoe feature asymmetrical branding on the back side of the flag labels. Kith’s 10th Anniversary logo replaces the I with an “X” which is seen on the right shoe, while the left shoe features Since 2011. The footbeds are also custom-printed with a KXTH logo. Lastly, each model arrives in custom packaging that displays the print seen on the shoe.

A Kith Kids offering of five styles created for toddlers is also included in this release, marking this the first time Kith has introduced collaborative footwear for its kid’s line. The custom prints are continued, this time on the Classic Slip-On silhouette while retaining similar elements such as the co-branded woven labels, leather heel patch, and collar. Special packaging is also offered for the kids’ models. 

Kith & Kith Kids for Vans Vault releases this Monday, May 24th at all Kith shops and 11AM EST on kith.com, as well as 11AM CET on eu.kith.com.

The men’s styles retail for $90 and are sized from 4 – 13 and 14, while the toddler styles retail for $45 and are sized from 2 – 10 in full sizes only.
