Ronnie Fieg’s Kith and New Balance are linking back up to release a special edition Kith x New Balance 998 collaboration in celebration of the model’s 30th Anniversary. It debuted in 1993, originally as a retro running shoe, which is now worn mostly as a lifestyle silhouette.
Revealed by Japanese sneaker magazine Shoes Master, the upcoming Kith x New Balance 998 arrives in a sporty Multi-Color color blocking. The shoe comes constructed in a mix of mesh, premium pigskin suede with hairy suede panels. Both the left and right shoes don different color schemes while having signature leather “N” logos on the sides and 998 New Balance tongue branding. The model’s staple ABZORB cushioned midsole atop a Black rubber outsole completes the design.

Frank Lloyd Wright is revered as America’s most famous architect—designing some of the most beautiful buildings in the world. The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation inspires people to discover and embrace an architecture for better living through meaningful connections to nature, the arts, and each other.
The collab will first release on Friday, April 14th exclusively at Kith Tokyo, followed by a second release at a pop-up in the Cabaret Theater inside Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona.
