"Maison Kitsuné has always been committed to building bridges between Paris and Tokyo, music and fashion. Collaborating with Autry was a natural choice. We both share a love for classic yet thoughtfully crafted pieces—pieces that tell a story yet remain modern," said Gildas Loaëc and Masaya Kuroki, co-founders of Maison Kitsuné.

This season, Autry and Maison Kitsuné have joined forces to reinterpret classic footwear from a Franco-American perspective. The result is a fresh take on the iconic Autry Medalist sneaker, perfectly blending the clean, athletic lines of 1980s American style with the understated sophistication of contemporary Parisian chic. This limited edition reflects a genuine dialogue between Autry's athletic heritage and Kitsuné's modern wardrobe essential, taking a two-brand approach.

In two exclusive colorways - French navy blue and red - the Medalist sneaker combines collegiate energy with a touch of sophistication. Sporty elements, vintage tones and the co-branded collegiate logo with Maison Kitsuné's iconic fox print create a carefully crafted nostalgic ambiance and collectability. The collection extends beyond shoes to include a range of ready-to-wear items: crisp white and navy blue t-shirts, collegiate-inspired linen gray sweatshirts, understated socks with the brand's logo, and baseball caps. Each piece subtly embodies the spirit of cross-cultural collaboration.

The collaboration between Autry and Maison Kitsuné stems from a shared spirit and vision between the brands. Autry President Roberta Benaglia stated, “We are honored to partner with a brand that, like us, champions timeless style while nurturing a vibrant global audience that values ​​connection, creativity, and self-expression. At Autry, we see fashion as a tool for engaging with communities and fostering meaningful cultural exchange. This capsule collection, including fresh interpretations of our iconic Medalist sneakers and ready-to-wear pieces, reflects our shared commitment to authenticity and creative synergy.”

 The Maison Kitsuné x Autry collection will be available at Maison Kitsuné and Autry stores and online starting in September 2025.
