The new year means brand-new exclusives from Ronnie Fieg and KITH.

Earlier this week, Ronnie and KITH revealed that their Loyalty Tiers were changing in 2026. The said announcement also revealed that KITH’s first collection of the year would be a collaboration with ASICS. Today, the sneakers that will make part of the collection have been revealed.

The footwear collection sees KITH revisit the ASICS GEL-Kayano 12.1. The 12.1, introduced in 2024, is a hybrid sneaker that combines the tooling of the 2006 GEL-Kayano 12 with that of the GEL-Nimbus 17. This new collection is a return to the model that KITH helped introduce almost two years ago. Since then, the model has gained significant popularity with high-quality general releases, as well as a notable collaboration with UPTHERE in late 2025.

The upcoming revisit to the ASICS GEL-Kayano 12.1 will be released to KITH Loyalty Exclusive members. Molecule has been renamed Paragon. This tier-exclusive will be available to KITH Loyalty Members with 1,9000 points or less.

The second Loyalty Tier, previously known as Elevation, has been renamed to Quartz. The ASICS GEL-Kayano 12.1, that feature hits of pink, is seemingly winning the popularity contest online currently. Quartz Loyalty Tier members will have the opportunity to purchase the GEL-Kayano 12.1 in the Paragon tier as well.

Finally, KITH’s Top Tier has been renamed from Vitality to Voyage. The Tier exclusive colorway of the GEL-Kayano 12.1 will feature hits of Blue. That said, Voyage Tiered members will have the opportunity to purchase any of the sneakers from the other tiers below it.

KITH has shared that “alongside the footwear collection, KITH and ASICS join forces to debut apparel and headwear exclusive to Loyalty Members, designed in Paragon, Quartz, and Voyage colorways. Shop standouts like the Brixton Track Jacket, Dayton Pullover, and Crew Socks.”

The KITH for ASICS Loyalty Exclusive collection will be available globally on January 12th, exclusively on the KITH App at 11 AM EST. You can read more about the collection via KITH.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
