As spotted on Hype Beast the New York City based label is taking one of the culture’s beloved photographs and turning it into a streetwear piece. This top features the classic photo of the Brooklyn, New York native holding a pigeon in each hand. Originally shot in 1985 by Manny Milan for Sports IllustratedMagazine the visual appears to capture Mike Tyson attempting to make the two birds kiss. Given the former the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world speaks with a very noticeable lisp, the photograph has always been referred to as a “kith”.
Years later the clothing company is capitalizing on it via a t-shirt called “Now Kith.” The KITH for Mike Tyson Vintage Tee is made from 230GSM vintage-washed cotton and features a ribbed neckline with the artwork of Iron Mike on the front. It is available in two colors, black and white. To promote the drop Mike Tyson stars in the promotional campaign for the release and is seen wearing the t-shirt proudly.
This month Mike Tyson is set to box Jake Paul on Nov. 15 at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas. The fight will be exclusively streamed on Netflix. You can shop the KITH for Mike Tyson Vintage Tee starting today via the KITH Monday Program here.
