Fall Feels: Kith x New Balance 990v2 and 990v3

News on this release was first published on September 8, 2022.

Update September 9, 2022: Fresh imagery of the latest Kith x New Balance 990v2 and 990v3 has arrived. Pairs are still locked to release at Kith in-store on September 9, with an online draw via the Kith app.

In June this year, Ronnie Fieg’s Kith dropped a mega 990 collaboration with longtime partners, New Balance. The collection, an ode to Kith’s 10th and the 990’s 40th anniversary, spanned four colourways and referenced past collaborations like the ‘United Arrows’​.

As it happens, Kith is dropping more NB990 heat as a part of its freshly unveiled Fall collection, again focusing on the ever-popular 990v2 and 990v3 silhouettes. Across the two colourways, each brings the perfect post-summer vibe. Tan uppers cover the 990v2’s pigskin suede uppers, nubuck underlays, tongue and mesh vamp, accented with cream laces. The 990v3 – constructed with cowhide suede uppers – draws inspiration from its New Balance 1300CL ‘Steel Blue’ predecessor, featuring navy uppers while complementing its 990v2 counterpart with cream on the midsoles.

The Kith Fall collection, which includes this duo of New Balance 990s, will be available on September 9 at 11:00 AM CET from Kith locations, plus their online store.

Yesterday the sneakersphere’s regular programming was interrupted by Ronnie Fieg, who delivered some breaking sartorial news. Nineties comedy icon Jerry Seinfeld became an official Kith poster boy, starring in the brand’s Fall 2022 lookbook. Check it out here.​
