In 2001, Nike launched the Air Force 1 “Linen” as part of its Japan-exclusive CO.JP program. This colorway is considered one of the best Air Force 1s of all-time and a personal favorite of Kith founder Ronnie Fieg. In 2016, Kith brought back the shoe for its 15th anniversary and to commemorate the opening of the brand’s Miami Beach flagship, followed by another retro in 2024 as part of Nike’s Cult Classics program.

This summer, in celebration of the shoe’s 25th anniversary, Kith and Nike are adding another chapter to the “Linen” Air Force 1s story with The Linen Collection. It features the Air Force 1 “Un-Linen,” a reimagination of Fieg’s favorite Air Force 1 colorway that turns its defining color palette on its head. The signature Linen brown leather uppers have been replaced with Atmosphere pink nubuck, creating an inverse color scheme while introducing a refreshed material composition.

Also included is the Air Max 95 “Linen,” marking the first time that the colorway has been executed on another iconic Nike silhouette. The shoe retains the exact colors and material execution of its predecessor, with uppers dressed in Linen brown leather paired with pink accents on the eyelets, lateral Swoosh, Air bubbles, and outsole. Special features include embossed “KITH” branding in large letters integrated into the medial side panel, with additional Kith branding found on the tongues and heels, as well as

Unlike Kith’s previous Nike collection that was only available in kids’ sizing, both sneakers in The Linen Collection will be available in full-family sizing, including adult, grade school, pre-school, and toddler.
