New York lifestyle brand Kith and New Balance have officially presented the Monuments Collection, introducing three distinctive iterations of the collaborative 2011 silhouette. Originally debuted earlier this year to commemorate Kith’s fifteenth anniversary, the model was co-designed by Ronnie Fieg and New Balance, merging intricate multi-paneled uppers with archival ABZORB sole tooling sourced from the original New Balance 2002.

Each style in the collection pays homage to an iconic New York City monument while drawing from the collaborative archive. The “Park” colorway evolves Fieg’s 2014 New Balance 530, incorporating a quilted vamp and collar, pigskin suede, and microperforated nubuck panels across a rich maroon base accented with atomic yellow and off-white. The floral-themed “Garden” pairs light grey with amazon green, lilac, atomic yellow, and fuchsia accents over microperforated pigskin suede and leather overlays. Rooted in city heritage, the “Banner” makeup combines princess blue with silver and vibrant orange accents across a breathable mesh vamp and pigskin suede overlays.

All three pairs feature asymmetrical Kith and New Balance co-branding across the heel pills, packaged inside a custom box illustrated with a New York City map and monument motifs. The specialized artwork is mirrored on the interior sockliners, with every shoe accompanied by two additional sets of laces.

The Kith & New Balance Monuments Collection is now available online via Kith and the Kith App. In-store, the “Park” and “Banner” colorways are available across all Kith flagship locations, while the “Garden” edition is available exclusively at the New Balance at Kith outpost in West Hollywood.
