KITH unveils their silhouette for Diadora's 6-part 'From Seoul to Rio' collection.
To commemorate the 2016 Summer Olympics, Ronnie Fieg's KITH partners with Diadora to unarchive the Intrepid silhouette as part of the 'From Seoul to Rio' collection.
Diadora had an impactful presence during the late 1980’s, creating innovative product designed for some of the most elite runners at the time. The Intrepid showcases this forward-thinking mentality with its low profile dynamic shape.
Fieg presents a retro palette inspired by the colors of prominent world class track clubs of the late ’80s. Teal, light orange, washed navy, pale pink, and soft grey sit comfortably beside one another on this model in a way that feels genuine to the Intrepid’s origin. The upper features a premium material execution by combining rugged pebbled nubuck with a lush pigskin suede forefoot. Branded tongue and heel pulls are added for increased accessibility, which is a detail exclusive to the KITH model. Other details include a colorblocked trail-running outsole, asymmetrical From Seoul to Rio footbed branding, two sets of multicolored woven laces, and custom packaging. Lastly, only 500 pairs of this model were produced worldwide, each of which were handcrafted in Italy.
