Update- 06/23/26:
Ronnie Fieg has revealed more details regarding this highly anticipated collection.
The 15th-anniversary collection will feature four sneakers from the debut 2011 model. The ‘Leaf Green’ and ‘Sakura Flower’ colorways feature a mix of materials that have appeared often throughout New Balance collaborative projects. They highlight material use as a way to tell KITH’s story over time.
The other two sneakers in the collection flip the script using heavyweight premium leather to make up the upper of the sneakers. Both the ‘Bark’ and ‘Red Wood’ 2011s balance that leather with contrast stitching to match the midsoles of the sneakers.
The KITH x New Balance 15th Anniversary collection will launch this Friday, 6/26 at KITH’s West Hollywood flagship. The global launch for the ‘Leaf Green’ and ‘Sakura Flower’ colorways will follow on Monday 6/29 at all Kith shops, Kith.com, and the Kith App. Both the ‘Bark’ and ‘Red Wood’ 2011s are exclusive to KITH’s West Hollywood flagship.

Ronnie and New Balance are locked back in.
Yesterday, Ronnie Fieg took to Instagram to officially announce the 15th anniversary collection that he is preparing with his longtime collaborative partner at New Balance.
The special capsule will honor the over 90 sneakers the partnership has birthed in the last 15 years. Feig explains:
“When working on this collection, I reflected on my history working with New Balance. What began as something small evolved into a partnership larger than I could’ve imagined. To tell our story, I thought of our relationship as a tree that grows. Starting from just a seed, every year the tree grew, deeply rooted and sprouting leaves and flowers.”
The collection’s palette seems to evoke that of the colors found in nature. Of course, the tree motif appears in colorways like the ‘Leaf Green’ colorway. Pairs, such as the Sakura Flower colorway, explore themes in nature beyond that of a sprouting tree.
The sneakers that make up the collection will appear on a brand-new silhouette from New Balance designed by Ronnie Feig and New Balance Designer Sam Pearce, named the New Balance 2011. The numeric name, of course, comes from the year that KITH first opened its doors.
