Andrew Rizzo Be it an athlete, celebrity, or otherwise, Ronnie Fieg knows how to enlist the right people for KITH lookbooks. As the KITH x adidas partnership moves back onto the pitch with an extensive footwear and apparel capsule, the New York streetwear brand has tapped Brazilian football legend Kaká to star in its campaign.
The capsule centers around footwear from the iconic adidas Predator line, including many of the models the Kaká wore throughout his storied playing career. We begin with the Predator Mania, the cleat Kaká wore during Brazil’s victorious FIFA World Cup run in 2002 as a 20 year old. Blue stripes loom over a black leather base, accompanied by a fold-over tongue featuring KITH’s hallmark monogram branding. There’s also a white colorway featuring blue/red stripes and the same monogram motif.
The Predator 2002 IC, an indoor version of the Mania, checks in with a monochrome red upper featuring gum soles, while the Predator Megaride checks in with green/white and blue/white colorways. Last but not least, the Koresco National is executed in green, black, and white styles.
As for the apparel, standouts include a stadium coat, suit jacket, and tracksuit. KITH and adidas have also collaborated with ESPN on custom soccer jerseys and a hybrid trench coat crafted from genuine Nappa leather, the latter of which stands out with striped detailing and ESPN-branded satin lining.
The latest KITH for adidas Football collection releases April 18th at KITH shops and at 11:00 AM EST/CET on all country-specific KITH websites. See detailed campaign images below if you’re considering copping.
