Kith (the American streetwear label/cult owned by Ronnie Fieg ) has a long-standing tradition of dropping a fresh collab every time it opens up a brand new flagship store. And to celebrate its latest branch, the very appropriately-named Kith x New Balance ‘Malibu’ collection has been revealed – and it's a deep kinda clean. Kith x New Balance 1300 ‘Malibu’ Taking on the 1300 and the 580 silhouettes, both sneakers work on top of canvas bases, and are overlaid by panels of leather and suede throughout.
They're coloured in a bunch of light, neutral tones, and the “N” logos that feature across the lateral and medial sidewalls are dipped in peach, which is apparently a nod to the city's sunsets and sunrises. Sure! Kith x New Balance 1300 ‘Malibu’ They're both pretty similar, but what sets them apart is the tech involved. The 1300, for example, features an Abzorb midsole with a Vibram rubber outsole that's extra grippy, while the 580 is infused with C-Cap that's meant to be super comfy.
And while Kith has worked on over a hundred (!) New Balance trainers over the years (including six 1300s), this is actually the imprint's first 580 ever. Kith x New Balance 580 ‘Malibu’ And this isn't its only big drop of the season, as Kith recently announced that it was reviving the Asics Gel-Kayano 12 . First introduced in 2006, this running shoe was extremely popular back in the day, and it's finally making a comeback after 18 years on ice.
