For this release, Kith and New Balance have upgraded their classic 990 line with the v4 version which sees a mixture of suede and mesh materials in a brown colorway. The 990v4 comes with New Balance’s famed ENCAP midsole for more support. Finishing touches include a transparent “N” logo on the side, the Made in the USA, and 990v logos. The newly upgraded 1000 sneaker dons a blue monochromatic colorway on the suede and canvas uppers. The 1000 sneaker also comes with the brand’s ABZORB midsole for extra comfort. These shoes also come with New Balance’s “N” logo and Kith’s branding on the heel. Those looking to get their hands on either pair must sign up for Kith’s drawing via their app for a chance to purchase. While subtle in their colorway, these sneakers appeal to quality over a statement design, making them ideal for those looking for a bit of luxury in their step.
