Kith was more atheleisure when it started and still is
It’s never been in FUBU lane even though Ronnie is a vulture to an extent
Noah, Kith and Aime are more Hilfiger, Ralph and Nautica lane

Exactly these CACs don’t know about Kith like that unless they from SoHo or some shyt. Midwest and South CACs wearing under armor like how nikkas used to rock fubu

Kith is literally marketed toward the hypebeast community; originated from a New Yorker.


its a bad comparison.


UA is cheap shyt marketed toward a completely different demo like u stated. The brands have 0 in common.

Not here to defend KITH or Ronnie, but what makes him a culture vulture?
he was already wealthy before kith, coming from a privileged background, from which much of his seed money originated.

he didn’t start with a few hundred dollars and a dream, the way FUBU and many other black streetwear brands did.

he also routinely uses black faces to market apparel that the vast majority of black people cannot afford.

and i don’t limit this particular criticism to just him, directing it to numerous high end “streetwear” brands whose primary public facing image is black while their product is prohibitively expensive.

he’s not black, but at least the founder of Rhude actually got it out the mud. His story is completely opposite of ronnie fieg’s.
