Ronnie Fieg, the founder of Kith, recently teased the upcoming footwear on Instagram, offering fans a detailed look at the designs that celebrate the launch of Kith’s latest international venture. The Kith x New Balance 992 is presented in a soothing baby blue suede with grey underlays and blue mesh upper, accented with reflective details on the tongue and back tab, and completed with a classic gum sole. The 991v2, on the other hand, sports the quintessential “Steel Blue” colorway that mixes deep blues and greys in rich suede textures.
The Osaka store opening marks a significant step in Kith’s international expansion, following the success of its Tokyo store established in 2020. This move underscores Kith’s strategy of aligning key product launches with significant brand milestones to create buzz and enhance consumer engagement.
Interested buyers should note that the Kith x New Balance 992 will be exclusively available at the Kith Osaka store, reinforcing the exclusivity and local appeal of the launch. Meanwhile, the 991v2 will see a wider release, available through the Kith webstore, app, and other retail locations.
An early draw for the 991v2 is scheduled to open on March 19 through the Kith app, providing an opportunity for fans to secure their pairs ahead of the official release. Whether for their collectible value or their aesthetic appeal, these sneakers are set to make a significant impact on the global streetwear scene.
