Madison Square Garden is home to many professional sports teams and entertainment acts, but at this time of year, much of the attention is on the New York Knicks and Rangers — two teams for which its fans are holding the highest and headiest of expectations since the franchise last topped 50 wins in 2013. That team and its venue is the clear focal point in both of the concocted colorways of the New Balance 990v6, revealed on Ronnie’s personal Instagram page.
The Kith x New Balance 990v6 “Madison Square Garden” sees the striking blue and orange tones adorn the upper a bone/cream, with custom blue/orange insoles feature official MSG branding on the left. The black pair honors the hockey team, with Rangers blue/red sitting above a dark base. Both pairs will be housed in a unique shoebox featuring the subway tiled signs underground cover the box lid.
An official release date has been confirmed for November 6th, 2023 exclusively at Kith in-store, online, and the Kith App.
