Luxury streetwear brand Kith is teaming up with Columbia Sportswear to launch an assortment of fishing apparel, footwear, and accessories that blend functionality with style.

The new collection is inspired by Columbia PFG, the brand’s long-standing line of Performance Fishing Gear. Dubbed the 'Kith for Columbia PFG' collection, the line offers protective silhouettes for all fishing conditions for an elevated fishing experience. 

The apparel collection embraces Kith's seasonal palette including earth tones and natural hues, shades of green, browns and blues. Highlights include the Cool Creek Vest, crafted from a breathable mesh fabrication and perfectly designed for carrying all terminal tackle, as well as the The Madison Jacket, a staple silhouette reimagined with waterproof breathable lightweight material. Completing the apparel range is The Bib Pant, The Terminal Deflector Long Sleeve and The Quarter Zip, offered with matching shorts.

For the footwear component of the release, Kith launched the Newton Ridge and Breaksider Sandal. The Newton Ridge is a waterproof, lightweight boot, while The Breaksider Sandal is a silhouette that features three adjustable hook & loop straps, an EVA shock-absorbing midsole, and a traction rubber outsole.

The collection is complete with a variety of essential fishing accessories like The Backcast Catchalot, The fingerless Terminal Tackle Glove and The Transit Bag. Lastly, alongside this collection, Kith partnered with Oakley on two unique models of sunglasses, the Frogskins and the M2 Frame XL. 

Last summer, Kith partnered with golf icon TaylorMade to launch an extensive collection of apparel, accessories and golf equipment. Beyond collaborations, the brand has also been growing its retail presence. 

Last month, Kith opened a new Williamsburg flagship, marking its second Brooklyn location. Kith also announced the expansion of its Miami locations with the opening of Kith’s second Miami store, Kith for Sadelle’s inaugural Miami restaurant, and its first standalone Kith Treats store.
