5. KITH

Kith was established in 2011 by Ronnie Fieg, who aims to give shoppers a unique experience and change the current fashion landscape so that customers receive more than what they pay for. Celebrities like Justin and Hailey Bieber are often seen sporting the brand. Kith is known for its extensive list of collaborations with other brands, which includes Levi's, Adidas, Columbia, Coca-Cola, Tommy Hilfiger, and many more.

What these brands have in common is their exclusivity appeal and creative collaborations with other brands. Having limited and exclusive drops creates hype for these brands, which is what we see when brands collab with childhood favorites such as the McDonalds happy meal or Cap'n Crunch cereal. These brands have proven to be major players in the streetwear community. Check back next week to see more streetwear related content!
