Ronnie Fieg’s Kith is one of the best collaborators in the game as the brand continues to team up with other labels from across the globe. For the latest project to come from the retailer/fashion brand, Kith and Columbia Sportswear unite once more, following up on the duo’s collab in June last year.
In the spotlight are two standout footwear models: the Newton Ridge and the newly introduced Montrail Trinity MX. The Newton Ridge, a beloved silhouette, returns with its waterproof capabilities and lightweight design. It is elevated by a Techlite midsole and Omni-Grip rubber outsole for supreme comfort and traction across varied terrains. This iteration features a co-branded, printed Kith for Columbia logo in two exclusive colorways that harmonize with the collection's overall aesthetic. Meanwhile, the Montrail Trinity MX Trail sneaker is premier for trail running enthusiasts. It boasts a breathable mesh upper, asymmetrical lacing for a superior fit, a responsive TechLite Plush midsole, and an Adapt Trax outsole, ensuring unmatched traction on wet and dry surfaces.
The collection extends beyond footwear, offering various apparel and accessories for the great outdoors. From the Madison Jacket 2.5L and Wind Anorak to the Utility Vest and Deflector LS 2.0, each piece integrates Columbia's renowned technologies like Omni-Tech, Omni-Shield, Omni-Wick, Omni-Freeze ZERO Ice, and Omni-Shade Sun Deflector. These innovations promise to keep adventurers dry, comfortable, and protected, whether navigating rainy trails or enduring the summer heat.
Complementing the apparel, Kith for Columbia introduces essential camping accessories, including the versatile Backpack 37L, available in vibrant colorways, and matching crossbody bags for lighter journeys. The headwear selection features custom nylon bucket and camper hats adorned with the co-branded Kith Alpine Research Division logo, rounding off the collection with functional style.
Alongside this collection, Kith has partnered with Oakley adding dimension to the collection and showcasing two exclusive eyewear models. The Oakley Hydra by Kith and Oakley Eye Jacket by Kith merge Oakley's surf heritage and technological innovation with Kith's modern aesthetics, offering premium optical performance and comfort.
The Kith for Columbia 2024 Collection will release on April 12, 2024, through Kith online and in-store. As of this writing, the prices have yet to be announced. Stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, and news in the sneaker and streetwear world by downloading the Sole Retriever mobile app.
