Fashion house Kith extends its collaboration with sportswear brand New Balance by introducing a fresh take on the 1906R model, a vintage-inspired running shoe known for its performance capabilities. This partnership has resulted in the launch of two distinct colorways, both incorporating subtle Kith branding that enhances the shoe’s aesthetic without overshadowing its classic design.
The Kith for New Balance 1906R showcases a mesh upper complemented by synthetic leather overlays, adding a touch of sophistication with a metallic toe cap. Attention to detail is evident in the co-branded elements that adorn the shoe, including Kith logo placements on the tongue and sockliner, as well as New Balance’s iconic branding on the lateral sides and heel. These elements collectively underscore the collaborative spirit of the design.
Functionality is not compromised for style, as the shoe is equipped with an ACTEVA LITE midsole for lightweight support, an ABZORB SBS heel for enhanced cushioning, and an N-ergy outsole for superior traction. This combination of features ensures that the 1906R remains a choice contender for both casual wear and athletic pursuits.
Available in both cream and black options, the Kith for New Balance 1906R caters to a wide audience with sizes for both men and women. The White/Blue colorway receives an exclusive in-store release at the Kith Women Flagship on March 8th, offering fans a first glimpse of the collaboration. A broader release follows, with both colorways becoming globally available on March 11th at 11AM EST/CET.
