Kith Mitchell & Ness for New York Knicks 10 Year ShortMulti

Product Description

The Kith Mitchell & Ness for New York Knicks 10 Year Short-Short in Multi is a collaborative basketball short produced to celebrate Kith's tenth anniversary, bringing together Ronnie Fieg's brand, heritage sportswear manufacturer Mitchell & Ness, and the New York Knicks franchise in a three-way collaboration that applies the Short-Short format of basketball's pre-1980s uniform style to a commemorative piece connecting Kith's New York identity, its decade of operation, and the Knicks' position as the home NBA franchise for the brand's original New York location and cultural base. Mitchell & Ness is the Philadelphia-based sportswear brand founded in 1904 that became the definitive source for authentic vintage-style replica sportswear across all major American professional sports leagues, producing exact-specification reproductions of historic team uniforms that launched the vintage jersey market and positioned Mitchell & Ness as the most historically trusted and most authentically detail-oriented name in sports heritage apparel. The Short-Short format references the abbreviated inseam length that NBA uniforms featured through the 1960s and 1970s before Larry Bird and Magic Johnson's generation began to lengthen shorts in the early 1980s, with the Short-Short carrying its own cultural nostalgia for an era of professional basketball that fans and collectors associate with the game's most expressive physical style and the visual language of vintage Knicks teams whose championship history and uniform aesthetic define the franchise's most culturally significant period.

The Multi colorway designation incorporates the New York Knicks' iconic orange, blue, and white palette across the short's design elements in a combination that connects directly to the franchise's visual heritage and that makes the piece immediately identifiable as a Knicks collaboration without requiring logo reading at close range. The 10 Year anniversary context gives the piece its specific collectible identity as a milestone marker rather than a seasonal product, documenting Kith's first decade of existence through a collaboration that celebrates the brand's New York roots. Released February 21, 2022 at $225 retail through Kith's retail and online channels.
