Kith reunites with United Arrows & Sons and New Balance for two Made in USA 990v3 colorways created for Kith’s fifteenth anniversary. The release revisits a New Balance palette that first appeared through United Arrows’ Beauty & Youth label in 2008.

The original colorway debuted on the Made in USA 997.5, combining a grey suede base with purple and pink accents. Ronnie Fieg later called it his “favorite New Balance colorway ever,” leading Kith and United Arrows to revisit the design in 2018 on the same model. The three brands continued the collaboration in 2022 with a new interpretation of the Made in USA 990v4 in adult and kids’ sizing.
For Kith’s fifteenth anniversary, the grey, purple and pink palette now appears on the Made in USA 990v3. Dark grey mesh covers the vamp, while light grey pigskin suede forms the overlays. Purple appears on the perforated toe and collar panels, with pink on the N logos, midsoles and heel windows.
Black tongues and heel tabs carry over a detail from the previous two collaborations. The trio also introduces a predominantly black version using the same material construction. Dark grey mesh covers the vamp, paired with black pigskin suede overlays and light grey perforated toe and collar panels. Neon green appears on the N logos, midsoles and heel windows.
Both pairs feature Kith and United Arrows & Sons branding on the dubraes. The insoles carry Kith fifteenth anniversary graphics alongside United Arrows & Sons and New Balance branding. Each pair arrives in custom packaging, with an illustration of the corresponding colorway on the shoebox lid and an accompanying dust bag.
Kith, United Arrows & Sons and New Balance will release both Made in USA 990v3 colorways exclusively in the United States on October 2. The shoes will be available at Kith stores, Kith.com and the Kith App at 11 AM EST.
