It&#8217;s almost as if the New York-based label is bouncing off collaboration after collaboration, seemingly happening on a monthly basis.<\/p>\n<p>Right after launching the <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2023\/03\/17\/kith-clarks-and-adidas-originals-turn-the-samba-into-the-perfect-spring-summer-footwear\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ronnie Fieg x Clarks Originals x adidas Samba<\/a>, Kith looks to be heading back to Boston with long-time partners New Balance.

It&#8217;s not immediately clear if it&#8217;s just Kith-exclusive colorways or an actual partnership that would warrant Kith&#8217;s branding on the sneakers itself.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that these are some of the most colorful sneakers Kith has come up with for New Balance. Fieg&#8217;s selection has always played on minimalism and clean colors. In fact, you&#8217;d have to look back to their 2020 &#8220;The Colorist&#8221; collection to find something as colorful as these.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the two 998s appear in a suede and mesh construction. One comes filled with a multitude of colors that makes it a lively affair, while the latter takes on a more subtle reddish hue that works better for those who prefer a quieter vibe.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, that&#8217;s all we know about the upcoming Kith x New Balance 998s. Stay tuned as we&#8217;ll bring you the latest information regarding them, which won&#8217;t be too long from now.<\/p>\n<p>If you didn&#8217;t already know, we&#8217;ll be heading to Sneaker Con SEA this weekend!
