KITH works in collaboration with Wilson on the Quiet Please collection of tennis goods including the classic branded tee and uniquely crafted tennis rackets. The goal was to create stylish apparel without comprimising high-performance design. It is now available to shop and the designs nod to Kith's signature aesthetics with Wilson's roots in tennis performance.
The curated range of apparel and equipment is great for the courts and off the courts. The capsule is subtle with a transformed classic sporting design turned into a cultural statement. The tees are at the center of the collection as it is expected to have a minimal co-branding finish. Premium fabrics are used to ensure comfort and softness, and the tennis rackets will likely feature custom colorways and branded details.
