Kith Releases Second Loafer Collection with Blackstock and Weber
Blackstock and Weber is teaming up once again with Kith this fall to release the second installment of the Ellis Penny Loafer.
The Brooklyn-based luxury footwear brand signature loafer returns in four exclusive colorways from the seasonal Kith palette that tie back to the fall 2024 collection.
Each custom loafer is handmade in Portugal, crafted from premium suede, and is Goodyear welted. The model is complete with collaborative gold embossed Kith for Blackstock and Weber branding embellished on the sockliner and a double leather midsole.
This newest drop comes one year after the duo released their first exclusive collection together, which featured three color-blocked versions of the footwear brand’s Ellis and Mason styles.
According to the men’s shoe brand, it has been exclusively selling a handful of its seasonal styles to Kith since 2021. But, after “amazing success” the duo decided to make some products together, Blackstock and Weber said in 2023.

The Kith for Blackstock and Weber loafer range releases alongside fall 2024 on Aug. 23 at Kith shops, Kith.com and on the Kith App.
This latest tie-up with Kith comes as Blackstock and Weber founder Chris Echevarria’s influence on the fashion world continues to grow. In May, Echevarria opened the doors to his first store. Located at 242 Mulberry St. in the Nolita neighborhood of Manhattan, the store features items from Blackstock and Weber and his ready-to-wear line Academy by Chris Echevarria.
As part of the new “General Store” concept, the shop also sells adjacent branded merchandise and special store exclusive products from ’47 brand, Max Pittion (John Mayer’s eyewear brand) and reworked Adidas Sambas and Birkenstocks courtesy of Goods + Services out of Los Angeles.
Kith also continues to make big moves. The New York-based company opened its latest store in Malibu in July. Located at 23465 Civic Center Way just off the Pacific Coast Highway near the famed Malibu Lagoon State Beach, Kith’s latest outpost carries its in-house, collaborative apparel, accessories, and footwear for men, women, and kids.
