The Kith & South2 West8 for Columbia Sportswear collection is a meeting of minds—technical innovation, outdoor heritage, and contemporary style, all reinterpreted through a modern lens.
South2 West8’s deep-rooted connection to Japanese fly-fishing culture adds a layer of visual identity, seen in intricate jacquard weaves and functional silhouettes. The Tapestry coaches jacket, with its paisley-woven design, brings an artisanal element to the outdoors, while the multi-pocket jacket strips things back to raw utility.
Kith steps in to bridge both worlds, refining each piece with its signature elevated streetwear sensibility.
Kith & South2 West8 for Columbia Sportswear
Technical fabrics define the lineup, pushing Columbia’s performance expertise to the forefront. The Sun Deflector long sleeve integrates Omni-Freeze ZERO ICE technology, responding to rising temperatures with a built-in cooling effect.
The heavyweight Nelson hoodie brings a familiar ease—its presence as fitting in the city as it is in open terrain.
Accessories reinforce the collection’s adaptability. The nylon pinch Crown and Dawson bucket hat offers light protection against the elements, while the ripstop nylon sling backpack and hip bag are built for movement, stripping away excess while delivering practical storage.
On the footwear front, the Newton Ridge hiking boot gets a thoughtful update, balancing Columbia’s outdoor-ready technology with Kith’s and South2 West8’s design DNA. Waterproof, traction-focused, and cushioned for endurance, it’s a statement of intent.
Altogether, the Kith & South2 West8 for Columbia Sportswear collection exists in the in-between—between city and nature, between tradition and progress. The collaboration taps into a narrative that’s not about following a path but about making your own.
