Spring-Ready Collaborative Footwear

KITH and New Balance Join Forces on a 993 Sneaker

KITH works in collaboration with New Balance on a new tonal iteration of the 994 sneaker model just in time for the Spring season. It is set to officially launch online at KITH beginning March 10th and will be available for the price of $210.

The shoes are made from a blend of suede, mesh, and synthetic nubuck materials that come together to create the layered upper. It is then decorated with the classic N logo on both the lateral and medial sides of the shoe. Overall, it all sits on top of the signature New Balance cushioned ABZORB midsole foundation. It is adorned with Spring-ready tones of pastel blues, yellows, and grey along with a collection to follow.
