Kith and Columbia to Release a Massive 45-Piece Collection Inspired by an Arizona Desert

Last week, Ronnie Fieg teased an upcoming Kith collection with Columbia on Instagram, sharing imagery of an outdoor excursion in Arizona with friends including famed designer Salehe Bembury, retired NFL star Victor Cruz and others. Today, Kith offered its fans a look at the range in its entirety.

For the sixth time, Kith has teamed up with Columbia on an apparel and accessory collection inspired by outdoor lifestyle. Via Instagram today, Kith said this collection was specifically inspired by the Sonoran Desert in Arizona. And this time around, there are 45 pieces for consumers to shop.
