Ronnie Fieg has used Kith to turn New York City into his personal playground. From bringing in Ghostface and Raekwon for a Clarks photo shoot to reviving George Kostanza for a Yankees collab, Fieg is taking the Big Apple’s cultural exports and making them his own. Continuing his long-running partnership with the New York Knicks, Fieg is ringing in the new NBA season with a Kith night at Madison Square Garden next week, and he’s got the perfect shoes for the occasion.
The Kith x New Balance 993 Knicks collection was first previewed months ago, with two pairs of 993s in classic Knicks combos, one in grey and blue with orange accents, and the other in black and blue with orange accents. After seeding a pair of the grey pair for the Sneaker of the Year panel in Vegas last weekend, Fieg showed off both pairs on Instagram alongside a few Statue of Liberty emojis in the caption.
Fieg was named the Creative Director of the New York Knicks three years ago, and while that role is probably pretty symbolic in nature, it has allowed Kith to bring in Knicks players for editorial shoots and establish the annual Kith celebration night at the Garden. On November 5, when the Knicks play the Dallas Mavericks, Kith will take over the arena with co-branded team shirts on every seat and an in-stadium pop-up featuring limited-edition merch.
We don’t have any specific word on the release of the Kith x New Balance 993 Knicks collection, but if it were a prop bet on Draft Kings, we’d bet the house on the 993s dropping at MSG next week faster than you can say Terry Rozier. Expect a wider launch via Kith online and in-store soon after Kith Night.
