Kith Paris is also the brand’s largest store to date and will provide holistic lifestyle experiences which include Kith Retail, Kith Treats, and a Kith for Sadelle’s restaurant.

The space features core motifs to Kith’s retail design language, blended with native elements distinctive to its French home. As with all Kith stores, the shop features uniquely positioned plaster cast sneakers and at the top of the staircase is a custom chandelier made from resin cast Air Max 1s by artist Daniel Arsham (creative director of the Cleveland Cavaliers).
