Product Information

Another USA-made classic, the New Balance 996 first hit sneaker shelves in 1988, presented in a sublime combination of suede and mesh. The silo has stayed out of the collab spotlight for the most part (although this year’s 25th anniversary run of team up projects is changing that), but has enjoyed plenty of success nonetheless thanks to its timeless build and versatile style applications.

Ronnie Fieg has taken to social media to share photos of two upcoming pairs of the Kith x New Balance 1700 “Canada”.The durability of New Balance sneakers is a dependable feature, with the brand using high-quality materials to withstand the rigors of intense workouts. In addition, New Balance uses various technologies such as Fresh Foam, Abzorb, and REVlite to offer superior cushioning and optimal comfort while walking or running. The brand is also known for its focus on fit, making shoes in multiple sizes and widths to cater to different foot types.

The New Balance 670, originally released in 1984, occupies that sort of desolate space between the 500s and the 900s number-wise. The shoe might not be entirely familiar to those who aren’t dedicated to the NB output, but it definitely has some classic make-ups under its belt. Remember the Norse Projects edition or the “Red Devil” colorway that fetches insane prices to this day without any collab hype? Ronnie Fieg and KITH are continuing to expand across the globe, as locations now span across the US, Asia and Europe. Canada is next to be added to the list, as a KITH Toronto location is expected to open up in the near future, and Ronnie have some Canadian-themed New Balance 1700s on the way for the store’s opening. Both Canadian-themed NB 1700s feature premium pigskin suede and Kith branding in the form of the Kith classic logo appears at the heel. The sneakers will also be accompanied by an apparel and accessories capsule. The full Kith Toronto collection is set to drop on 25 September, 10am EST, mark your calendars! portion of the catalog is less than common knowledge. Through noteworthy collaborative endeavors and valiant in-house efforts, the brand’s popularity has been surging within the “sneakerhead” market, and along with it, a growing awareness of additional New Balance Classics models. Over the past decade, New Balance‘s 1700“Japan” has become the stuff of legend to avid NB collectors in the East and West alike. Now, it’s returning in all its original glory to mark its 10th anniversary. A onetime high-performance runner that debuted in 1999, the 1700 proffered one of New Balance’s most advanced cushioning setups at the time — blending ABZORB, ENCAP and C-Cap for a comfy, supportive ride. Although running shoe performance has since evolved past this benchmark, the combo of notable technologies and the intricate attention to detail on the silhouette ensure that it’s still a lifestyle favorite.UPDATE (January 28, 2020): Ronnie Fieg’s KITH has officially announced the release of its New Balance 1700 “The Colorist” collection. Made up of two different takes on the 1700 — each of which uses 10 different colored-suedes — “The Colorist” offerings aim to present a bold yet cohesive look. Although the hues may be wildly different on each style, both are united by asymmetrical heel branding that features “KITH” and “Fieg” in New Balance’s signature font. Custom printed insoles ensure that the interior is just as luxurious as the supple exterior, and a trifecta of lace options accompanies each makeup as well. The New Balance 1700 hasn’t necessarily been a priority for the Boston-based imprint in recent memory as models like the 327, 991 and 992 have been garnering all of the GR and collaborative spotlight. However, it looks as though the 1999 model is aiming to regain some momentum as it has just surfaced in a signature light gray palette.
