Assouline\u2019s coffee-table book *KITH: The Footwear Archive*, published in honor of KITH\u2019s 15th anniversary, documents the brand\u2019s evolution through the category that initially defined it: the sneaker. This 444-page book compiles more than 1,800 collaborative shoe models from the past fifteen years, preserved in founder Ronnie Fieg\u2019s archive.<\/p>\n
This comprehensive volume marks the first time Fieg\u2019s impressive collection of unreleased and development prototypes has been revealed to the public, alongside the released models and the \u201cfriends and family\u201d editions that have defined his career. It features projects with partners such as Adidas, Asics, Clarks Originals, Moncler, New Balance, Nike, On, Timberland, and more, and is the largest book in Assouline\u2019s Classics Collection to date. The entire collection was photographed by Tyler Mansour, a photographer who has collaborated with KITH for many years, ensuring that all fifteen years are presented through a consistent visual lens.<\/p>\n
\u201eThe true DNA of the brand and my creative work began with shoes. This book is proof that we\u2019ve built something that didn\u2019t exist before.\u201d \u2014 Ronnie Fieg, founder and creative director of KITH.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The book is divided into two parts: the first part showcases 700 released models through high-quality photography, while the second part delves deeper into the archive\u2014which is organized chronologically by brand\u2014and traces the complete journey from the initial concept to the final product. Together, the two parts reveal the continuity of Fieg\u2019s unique vision across every category, collaboration, and period.<\/p>\n
Thanks to unprecedented access to the brand\u2019s archive, the coffee-table book *KITH: The Footwear Archive\u2018 is both a comprehensive account of Kith\u2019s first fifteen years and an indispensable reference guide for understanding the brand\u2019s design philosophy and its influence on the broader industry. Fieg says, \u2019I think about the book twenty years from now, the book thirty years from now. Everything I\u2019m working on right now is part of that story.\u201c<\/p>\n
