Kith joins New Balance once again for the Made in USA 99X Series, bringing the 990v3, 990v4, 992, and 993 together in a four-piece release. The collection uses hues from the Kith Palette. The release arrives during Kith’s fifteenth year and continues the long-running relationship between the two brands. Each pair draws from New Balance’s Made in USA line, using pigskin suede, open mesh, technical cushioning, and Kith branding across the footbed and heel.

The collection keeps the focus on tonal color, material texture, and familiar 99X silhouettes. The 990v3 opens the series in the Hallow colorway. This release marks the first time the 990v3 appears in a collaboration, with Kith serving as the exclusive retailer for the style in 2026. The shoe features premium pigskin suede overlays and open mesh underlays designed for breathability and durability. A cushioned Encap midsole supports the silhouette, while classic “N” logo treatments appear on the lateral and medial sides.
The 990v4 follows in Dusty Mauve. Kith differentiates the style through its tooling and a simplified upper, giving the model a cleaner construction within the same broader series. The 990v4 uses pigskin suede overlays and open mesh underlays, matching the material direction of the 990v3. A firmer, denser midsole shapes the feel underfoot, while Kith branding returns on the footbed and heel.
The Made in USA 992 enters the collection in Argon, a cool-toned shade that gives the model a distinct place within the lineup. The shoe continues the use of pigskin suede overlays and mesh underlays, while New Balance technology defines its construction. ABZORB cushioning appears at the heel and forefoot, paired with a combination Encap and C-Cap midsole. An Ndurance rubber outsole supports durability, while reflective accents and Kith branding complete the design.
The series closes with the Made in USA 993 in Asteroid. The silhouette carries a streamlined shape and uses the same pigskin suede and mesh construction as the rest of the collection. Its tooling shares a close relationship with the wider 99X family, while Acteva cushioning adds flexible support. A full-length Ndurance rubber outsole gives the model added durability, and Kith and New Balance branding finish the pair.
Drawings for the Kith and New Balance 99X Series open on Friday, May 8, and close on Sunday, May 10. Additional quantities release on Monday, May 11 in stores, online, and on the Kith App across New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo time zones.
