Ronnie Fieg Officially Reveals the New Balance 2011, Kith’s Signature Model

UPDATE 6/22/26: Almost a month after initially teasing a special silhouette from New Balance, Kith founder Ronnie Fieg has officially shared some insights into the fresh model. The 2011 is a nod to the year Kith first opened its doors, and is an all-new design created in collaboration between the two brands, in celebration of Kith’s 15th anniversary. Four colorways will mark the runners debut release, alongside an expansive collection of co-branded apparel. Photos of the collection and process behind it are below, we are still waiting on a release date announcement.

ORIGINAL STORY:

Ronnie Fieg recently sat for an interview with Complex Style, talking about his brand Kith and its fifteen-year history. In the photos, Fieg is seen both holding & wearing an unreleased New Balance model, which sneaker sleuths have deduced could be a signature for Kith.

Kith is celebrating fifteen years in business in 2026, a major milestone for any retailer, but Kith has gone above and beyond in such a short time. Originally a sneaker-focused store, the brand quickly released their first menswear collection in 2012, and have grown into one of the powerhouse labels in mid-tier (price-wise, please don’t @ me) fashion in under two decades. Kith now regularly releases seasonal collection for both men and women, expansive projects with other major brands like Giorgio Armani, The North Face, Thom Browne, and many more. Kith also has their Monday Program, a series of special releases that drops new products every single Monday, all year long. Many of these special drops are sneaker collaborations, often with their most frequent partners, Asics and New Balance.

Both brands hold a special place in Kith’s history, and likely Ronnie Fieg’s heart. They have been working with Ronnie since his days at David Z., and have supported Kith since its founding in 2011 with plenty of SMU styles and collaborations. This week, Fieg has teased another new project with New Balance, showing off a (possibly) new model in his recent Complex Style profile. Seen on his feet and in his hands in many sample iterations, the shoe bears some resemblance to popular NB models like the 2002R. However, closer examination of the sample tag by Modern Notoriety shows the phrases ‘1890 v1’ and ‘Kith 2011’. The 1890 is still a relatively recent addition to the NB catalog, and is seemingly still in its v1 phase, while the Kith 2011 could represent the store’s anniversary, though some have speculated this is a specially-designed silhouette for Kith and their 15th anniversary.

KITH X NEW BALANCE 2011 RELEASE INFORMATION

The first all-new signature shoe for Kith from New Balance has not been announced for release quite yet. After his posts outlining development and design process, Fieg teased the rollout would begin soon, possibly this week. That could mean a drop next Monday for their weekly Program release, so stay tuned for any further updates on the Kith signature model.
