The creative minds at Kith and Nike are back with a fresh collaboration, this time turning their focus to the next generation. The new “Kith Kids × Nike” capsule, slated to launch November 28, 2025, delivers a seven-piece sneaker drop in full kids and toddler sizing, revisiting classic Nike silhouettes with a Kith twist.
The collection spans four iconic models, the Nike Air Force 1, Nike Air Max 95, Nike Air Footscape Woven, and the baby-friendly Nike Swoosh 1, each reimagined with playful colorways, luxe materials, and scaled-down proportions. Among the standout styles: a croc-embossed Air Force 1 in white and forest green, suede color-blocked variants, and a Dunk-style Air Max 95 reworked in festive hues with Kith monogram detailing.
The collaboration isn’t just a nod to nostalgia, it’s a deliberate effort by Kith founder Ronnie Fieg to pass down his love for sneaker culture to a younger generation. In his own words, the idea is to let kids feel “the same spark” he felt growing up with Nikes. The drop isn’t watered down either: each sneaker retains the full structural complexity and design detail of adult versions, proving that scaled-down doesn’t mean stripped-back.
Footwear aside, the collection also includes kids-and-baby-sized apparel, varsity jackets, track sets, fleece sweaters and more, all co-branded with Nike Swoosh and Kith logos. The styling leans winter-ready, with green, red and navy tones dominating, echoing the holiday season.
For parents, sneakerheads, and gift-seekers, the collection drops exclusively via Kith online and its “chapter” stores, starting 28 November at 11 AM (local store times). With each pair limited to 1,982 pieces, a subtle nod to Ronnie Fieg’s birth year, he drop is already shaping up to be one of the season’s most sought-after releases.
