Kith x New Balance 991v1 & 991v2 Made in UK Release Date

Kith and New Balance are keeping their streak alive with a new Made in UK drop that’s arriving just in time for the season shift. The latest chapter between the two features both the 991v1 and 991v2 receiving the full Kith treatment, available in earthy “Vetiver” and neutral “Moonrock.”

Both pairs are built the way you’d expect anything carrying the Made in UK tag to be, with pigskin suede that actually holds up, mesh underlays, and reflective hits in places right where they count. A “Made in England” embroidery on the tongue of each model drives one point home, nodding to Flimby, New Balance’s England-based factory that’s been running since 1982. Flat woven laces come standard, but extra lace options are tucked inside the box for those who like to switch things up. Kith’s fingerprints are all over the details: custom branding on the heel, tongue, and footbed on the 991v1, while the 991v2 carries those same details on the lateral ankle, tongue, and footbed.

Each pair comes with its own distinct tooling, with the 991v1 running on ABZORB pods and ENCAP cushioning, while the 991v2 steps it up with ABZORB SBS pods, ENCAP midsole cushioning, and FuelCell technology thrown in the mix for a noticeably more energized ride. Same DNA, different performance profile, so the choice between the two really comes down to how you like your foot to feel.

The Kith x New Balance 991v1 is available in men’s and women’s sizing, while the 991v2 comes in unisex sizing. Both silhouettes are arriving as part of the broader Kith 101 Spring 2026 collection.

Drawings for the Kith 101 x New Balance Spring 2026 drop open March 13th at 1pm EST exclusively on the Kith App. If you miss the draw, the global release follows Monday, March 16th, in-store, online, and on the app at 11am across New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo. Check out both pairs below.
