Kith x New Balance 991v1 & 991v2 Release March 16
Kith has partnered with New Balance to reimagine the Made in UK collection's heritage 991v1 and 991v2 silhouettes. The collaboration surfaces in two distinct colorways—Vetiver and Moonrock—with a global release scheduled for March 16 across Kith channels.
Ronnie Fieg's continued dialogue with New Balance has yielded another chapter in their sustained creative partnership. Following last year's collaborative push around the ABZORB 2010, Kith now turns its attention to the Made in UK line's foundational models, the 991v1 and 991v2—two silhouettes that represent the brand's commitment to domestic manufacturing and elevated construction standards.
The two models arrive dressed in considered colorways that reflect a restrained design philosophy. The 991v1 emerges in Vetiver, a muted earth tone that bridges the gap between neutral and natural, while the 991v2 receives the Moonrock treatment, a softer grey that maintains visual depth without demanding attention. Both iterations preserve the structural integrity of their respective silhouettes while refining the aesthetic through colorway selection rather than radical reimagining—a signature Kith approach.
The Made in UK designation carries particular weight within the New Balance ecosystem. These models maintain the brand's factory production in Flimby, England, a distinction that elevates them beyond standard domestic offerings. Kith's selection of these particular silhouettes suggests a deeper understanding of New Balance's manufacturing heritage and the technical specifications that define each model's platform and fit characteristics.
