Kith x New Balance 2018 Collection

Following some teasers by Ronnie Fieg on social media, Kith has officially revealed its entire collection with New Balance, United Arrows, and Nonnative. 

The collection will consist of six pairs that pay homage to two of Fieg's favorite New Balance collabs—three inspired by United Arrows' 997.5 collaboration from 2009, and three inspired by Nonnative's "Dune" 997.5 from 2011. Each trio features premium versions of the 997, 997S, and 997S Fusion colored up to resemble each notable project. The 997S is a modernized version of the OG 997 with updated features like a neoprene sock collar and more lightweight build. The 997S Fusion fuses the OG upper with the new tooling introduced on the 997S.

United Arrows' 997 is constructed of pig skin suede and mesh, while the Nonnative pair opts for exotic materials like pony hair and ostrich leather. Each pair will feature a unique triple-stacked "N" logo on the side panels to symbolize the three partners involved in the project.

Buyers will get the chance to purchase the Kith x United Arrows x Nonnative x New Balance collection on Wednesday, Nov. 21 at Kith stores, kith.com, store.united-arrows.co.jp, and nonnative.com.
