Today we take another look at the much anticipated collaboration by Ronnie Fieg with New Balance on the 999. The “final result features a mixed premium nubuck, pigskin suede and leather accented upper inspired by the popular New Balance 1300CL model. Details include debossed heel and tongue New Balance branding, a soft leather tongue, ABZORB cushioning, “Just Us” written on the eyelets and the Kith logo imprinted on the insoles. Each pair comes with a Kith/New Balance leather hangtag and three pairs of laces in white, grey and ice.”
In addition to the shoes, there’s also a Kith x New Balance apparel capsule collection, featuring hoodies, crewnecks, sweat shorts and sweatpants, all handmade in New York City using grey and blue french terry fabrics.
To mark the special release, 100 handmade wooden boxes will be available for the first 50 kids in Brooklyn and first 50 in Manhattan. The wooden box pack is priced at $290 USD and contains the 999 “Steel Blue” shoes, the hoodie and the sweat shorts.
Everything will release this Friday at KITH Brooklyn, KITH NYC and also in their online store at 11am EST. The shoes alone go for $130 USD.
