If their “Osaka” capsule and upcoming collaboration on the New Balance 2010 wasn’t proof enough, the New Balance KITH relationship is stronger than ever. For their latest surprise edition, the two partners are getting creative, and leveraging their wide network for initial access. To grab the KITH New Balance 997.5 “Easter,” tap into the KITH app and enter any of the following codes to access two brand new colorways: JLP-9975, JUNYA-9975, CRAN-9975, FARAZ-9975, or TYLER-9975.
This marks a return to a KITH and overall collaborative favorite of the 2010s, with the brand’s loud “Cyclades” edition from 2015 coming on the hybrid model and founder Ronnie Fieg often citing makeups of the 997 proper as among his most cherished. In contrast to that shoe from a decade ago, the “White/Marshmallow/Angora” and “White/Ice Blue/Peach” pairs on tap execute the tonal look that KITH has leaned into with their modern output, the latter truly hitting the “Easter” nail on the head with extremely subtle pastels cropping up throughout the profile. On that opposing edition, the material quality of the shoe instead takes the spotlight, highlighted by tumbled leather across the collar and under the eye-stay, a pocked mesh toe, and suede overlays carrying the overlays.
