Kith and On begin a multi-year partnership rooted in running and performance design. The collaboration introduces the Kith for On Spring 2026 collection alongside two original footwear models titled K-Tech 1 and K-Tech 2. The announcement also marks the creation of the Kith Run Team, a New York City–based group built with local coaches and members of the running community.
SNEAKERS
The partnership arrives during Kith’s 15-year anniversary and reflects a shared focus on performance and design. The Spring 2026 release includes footwear, apparel, and running accessories developed through collaboration between the two brands. Kith brings its New York identity and design direction to the project, while On contributes its running technology and footwear engineering.
The collection introduces two exclusive sneaker silhouettes developed for the partnership. K-Tech 1 functions as a performance running model developed with newly designed uppers and new Cloudswift® tooling. The sneaker incorporates a mesh upper paired with synthetic suede overlays and custom co-branded lockups placed throughout the design. A Kith Monogram treaded outsole supports traction and stability during running. The model arrives in three color options: Black, Tofu, and Tofu & Sea Moss.
K-Tech 2 serves as a silhouette designed for daily activity and exercise. The design uses open mesh underlays combined with synthetic suede overlays that support airflow and flexibility during wear. Co-branded lockups appear throughout the sneaker along with the Kith Monogram treaded outsole. The model also uses Cloudswift® tooling, maintaining a consistent technical foundation shared with K-Tech 1. K-Tech 2 releases in three color combinations: White & Real Teal, Thorn & Ganache, and Spirulina & Barley.
Both sneakers incorporate the CloudTec® cushioning system developed by On, delivering a responsive ride during running and activity. A dual-density Helion™ foam midsole supports comfort and impact absorption during use. These technical components support speed, endurance, and stability during training and daily wear. Kith and On developed both silhouettes exclusively for this partnership.
Alongside footwear, the Spring 2026 release revisits On’s Core apparel collection through Kith design direction. Jackets, tees, tanks, sports bras, shorts, and pants appear with co-branded graphics and K-Tech branding. The garments arrive in a color palette chosen by Kith. The collection also includes running accessories such as the Lightweight 2.0 Cap in Black and White and the Waist Pack Lite 2L. The accessories release ahead of the apparel and footwear as part of the Kith Monday Program.
The partnership also introduces the Kith Run Team, a group formed with athletes, coaches, and runners from New York City. Training for the team began in February 2026. The runners will compete in their first race during a New York half-marathon scheduled for April.
Release access for the footwear begins with a drawing that opens on March 4 through the Kith App and closes on March 5. The full Kith for On Spring 2026 collection will launch globally on March 6 at 11 AM through Kith stores, online platforms, and the Kith App in New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo time zones.
