Kith has pulled off yet another big-name collaboration, this time tapping into the sunny days and childhood memories of Sesame Street. The first-ever team-up with the legendary kids’ TV show sees Kith reimagine its iconic characters for a fashion-forward audience that probably hasn’t watched the show since the early ‘90s—yet still hums the theme tune when no one’s around. The result? A playful drop that merges nostalgia with Kith’s undeniable streetwear cool.
The capsule is a love letter to Big Bird, Elmo, Cookie Monster, and the rest of the gang. On the apparel front, we’re talking Elmo-heavy crewnecks, classic varsity jackets stitched with Big Bird, Count von Count, and Cookie Monster, as well as sweaters paying homage to Oscar the Grouch, Bert, and Ernie. Kith doesn’t half-step either—these aren’t kiddie graphics slapped onto tees. Each piece looks considered, with the vintage-inspired washed textures and muted tones giving it all a retro, lived-in feel.
The standout? A vibrant, character-loaded hoodie that turns the entire Sesame Street lineup into a walking tapestry of colour. If you didn’t know you needed Big Bird, Bert, and Oscar all over your torso, now you do.
But Kith isn’t stopping at clothes—oh no. This collab stretches into accessories and unexpected gear. Expect caps and beanies for low-key styling, but also wildcards like an Elmo and Kith-branded mat, a Sesame Street cookie jar (you know the Cookie Monster approves), and a piggy bank for stashing your spare change after rinsing your wallet on this drop. Oh, and they’ve got plush toys too, if you want to flex with a cuddly Elmo on your shelf.
What really hits is the attention to detail. Scenes from Sesame Street—the kind you used to watch sprawled out on your living room floor—are cleverly referenced, giving the collection a sense of storytelling. The washed-out aesthetic is on point, like the Kith team dug into your mum’s VHS tapes and turned them into fashion.
Kith clearly knows their audience. It’s not just streetwear die-hards who’ll go mad for this—it’s for anyone who grew up with Sesame Street, who wants to feel like a kid again but still look cool enough to hang outside Supreme.
The Kith x Sesame Street collection drops December 16, both in-store and online at 11 a.m. EST. Get ready—because you just know these pieces will fly faster than Elmo saying “tickle me.”
