In an exciting new collaboration, the Kith brand has partnered with New Balance to launch a distinctive sneaker that pays homage to the legendary New York Knicks. The partnership features the release of the Kith x New Balance 991v2 “Knicks”, a design profoundly influenced by New York’s illustrious sports history and Ronnie Fieg’s enduring bond with Madison Square Garden.
The sneaker incorporates the classic New Balance 991v2 silhouette, elegantly crafted from top-quality grey pigskin suede, giving the shoe a luxurious undertone. Adding to its unique charm, the heel is adorned with blue Kith branding, which contrasts subtly against the sneaker’s refined aesthetic. Further amplifying its allure are the striking orange accents inspired by the Knicks’ vibrant color palette, making a bold statement. The midsole is engineered with New Balance’s advanced FuelCell technology, and features a harmonious blend of cream, white, and grey, achieving a sleek and perennial appearance. The design is completed by a robust black outsole that not only provides sharp visual contrast but also enhances the shoe’s durability.
The Kith x New Balance 991v2 “Knicks” will initially be available on November 8, 2024, coinciding with Kith Night at Madison Square Garden, an event that will celebrate this unique collaboration as the New York Knicks play. Thereafter, a broader release is set for November 29, 2024, making it more accessible to the masses. Priced at $250, the sneakers will be available in men’s sizes.
This collaboration is a testament to Ronnie Fieg’s commitment to New York’s sports culture, marrying Kith’s fashionable aesthetics with New Balance’s functional expertise. The launch is an excellent tribute to the New York Knicks and is poised to be a valuable addition for aficionados of the brands involved as well as supporters of New York basketball. As the release dates approach, enthusiasts are encouraged to mark their calendars to secure a piece of this exclusive sporting heritage encapsulated in the Kith x New Balance 991v2 “Knicks.”
The sneakers come in a color scheme labeled as Antarctica/Ancient Scroll-Castlerock-Scarlet Ibis, with a style code U991KT2. Reflecting a blend of tradition and modernity, this release promises to resonate well with both sneaker collectors and basketball fans alike.
