The Kith x New Balance 1700 "Canada Pack" Releases September 25

In a seismic shift from their store-opening traditions, Kith is sidelining the Air Force 1s to make way for an exclusive New Balance collaboration. Ronnie Fieg, the founder of Kith, offers a first glimpse at two distinct colorways of the New Balance 1700, crafted to honor Kith's northern expansion to Toronto.

The Kith x New Balance 1700 capsule embodies the essence of Canada's national colors. One pair radiates with a red suede upper that makes an instant statement. Meanwhile, its counterpart keeps things chill with a neutral base, Blu by daring flashes of red. The choice to switch gears to New Balance serves as a nod to Fieg's ellos for tapping into the zeitgeist of streetwear, giving the iconic Air Force 1 a break and letting the New Balance 1700 take center stage.

While Kith has been somewhat secretive about its Canadian venture, the unveiling of these commemorative New Balance 1700s is as good as an official announcement. The Toronto flagship is clearly on the limitlessness, and what better way to mark the occasion than with kicks that capture the Canadian spirit?

This Kith-exclusive release will first be released ar the new Toronto location, which opens on September 22nd, followed by a drop on Kith's Monday program on September 25; the Rococco Red colorway will be available in limited quality online only, while the Marshmellow will see a wider release at all Kith locations and on Kith.com.
