Packed with collaborations with adidas, Columbia Sportswear, G-Shock, Oakley and TUMI, Ronnie Fieg and company have created the “Element Exploration Agency” collection, an outdoor-facing offering inspired by “the breathtaking and death-defying scenery of Utah.”.With Fieg’s hypebeast clientele certainly in mind, this new offering of gear seems designed to be ready for the elements, while keeping you from looking like you only shop at Erewhon.
Kith has tapped these five brands to bring what they do best to the table and allow Fieg and his team to tweak, spotlight and provide a fresh take on their products. The center of the collaboration is Kith’s work with Columbia. Something of a regular partner when it comes to Kith, this collection has spawned 30 pieces of apparel and accessories.
The items have been divided by color palette to reflect the three segments of the EEA—Element, Exploration and Agency. The pieces include the Chuting Jacket and matching convertible Pant, the ripstop Santa Anna Windsuit, the patterned Powder Fleece Pullover and Shorts, Omni-Freeze Base Layer Top and Bottom, as well as hats and assorted bags.
For the footwear, Kith worked with adidas Terrex (the German brand’s outdoor division) and brought new, EEA-themed colorways to the Jawpaw Slip-On, the Agravic and the Response TR Boost. New Jersey-based luggage manufacturer TUMI brought three bags to the table. Its offering features a carry-on, a foldable tote bag and its Jetsetter bag.
It wouldn’t be a Ronnie Fieg collaboration if an archival piece wasn’t brought back and this time around it’s the Oakley Razor Blade sunglass silhouette. The sunglasses come in three colorways to compliment the rest of the EEA pack. Last, but not least, is G-Shock’s DW6900 digital watch. The water resistant and shock resistant timepiece also features a geometric pattern to match the “Agency’s” colorways.
The Kith Element Exploration Agency collection will be released at all Kith shops and at 11 am on Kith.com on Friday, March 30th. Check Grailed soon after as the pieces make their way to our Hype marketplace.
