following the release of Ronnie Fieg’s Japan-exclusive AF1, we’re now taking our first look at the KITH x Nike Air force 1 “New York City”! Going back to the world-renowned fashion designer’s roots, this big Apple-inspired collaboration strays away from the minimalism of his previous release, opting instead for terrific gradients and loud logos that are made to turn heads, just like nyc itself.

Featuring a stealthy all-black leather upper, this is contrasted with striking orange and blue gradients throughout. Not only does this effect appear on the co-branded tongue, it also extends towards the lateral and medial side Nike Swoosh branding as well, resulting in a somewhat patriotic aesthetic.

“NYC” is finely embroidered at the heel in an very blocky font, and to round it all off, a metallic gold dubrae ties everything together, finalising the basic yet striking Air force 1 collab.

Expected to launch sometime this autumn, the KITH x Nike Air force 1 “New York City” could be exclusive to the States, though this has yet to be officially confirmed. let us know what you think of this AF1, and in related news, the KITH x Nike Air force 1 “Blue Lagoon” has also been unveiled!
