The friendship between Kith and Nike continues to grow with a new collaboration to come. Indeed, the first images of the Kith x Nike Air Force 1 Low Paris have been unveiled. A pair in tribute to France, which proudly displays the colors of the flag. We find: the blue inside, the flag on the tongue and on a swoosh placed on the front of the shoe.

The ready-to-wear and accessories area opens onto the vast courtyard covered by a giant glass roof. While the entrance on the first floor is dressed in Carrara marble, the first floor is decorated with parquet. A mezzanine has even been installed to allow for DJ sets.

A majestic staircase connects the first floor to the first floor. The ironworks of the banister are made to measure and carry the logo of Kith. Recalling the ultra-parisian DNA of the place. On the first floor, a gallery-library offers a selection of design objects, such as a Louis Vuitton basketball, art books… (Tokyo, or New York, your choice), Kaléidoscope, and of course the reference magazine SneakersEverything is for sale, even the carpet and the furniture.r the reference magazine
