Judging by his résumé of collaborations, it’s safe to say that Ronnie Fieg is a busy guy. Stealing a few minutes of his time, Sneaker Freaker was able to track down the captain of Kith for a Q&A session, covering topics such as the upcoming Kith pop-up shop in Paris, France and the soon-to-be-released Ronnie Fieg x PUMA Disc Blaze “COA” collaborative pack. To get a glimpse of what was discussed, check out the excerpt below, and head over to Sneaker Freaker for the full interview.
Let’s look ahead to 2014. What do you see?
Ronnie: I see an over-saturated market, which makes my job a bit more challenging. I enjoy the challenges and I have 2014 mapped out with products that will hopefully make a positive impact in the marketplace. Woody, you and I do this for a living, this is all we know. I feel like it is our responsibility to help take the footwear world to the next level!
The PUMA Disc Blaze “COA” will be released launch at the Kith pop-up shop in Paris on January 16th, located at 23 Rue De Roi De Sicile. To purchase the Ronnie Fieg x PUMA Disc Blaze COA shoes, Kith will be distributing tickets to those in line starting January 15th at 10am on a first come, first serve basis. 84 tickets will be handed out for an opportunity to purchase a pair of the Ronnie Fieg x PUMA shoes on the following day with a valid ticket. Daily updates will be sent out via Twitter (@KithSet) when all the tickets are given out for that day. With a ticket, customers will be allowed to purchase one pair of Ronnie Fieg x PUMA Disc Blaze COA shoes with only one colorway per ticket as well as the full Kith COA collection. The shoes will retail for €165 (~$225).
