Ronnie Fieg and Kith have been unstoppable in the world of collaborative footwear. In recent months, we’ve been teased with multiple Kith projects, from the brand’s upcoming Adizero Evo SL, Asics Gel-Kayano 12.1, and New Balance 990v4 Made in USA. However, it’s been quite some time since Fieg partnered with French outdoor label Salomon on a project, with the duo last working together in December 2022. Two years later, Kith and Salomon reunite on the XT-4K silhouette as part of Kithmas 2024.
What is likely the introduction for this all-new model themed after the ever-popular XT-4, the Salomon XT-4K sees the same tooling as the XT-4 but refines the upper. This Kith edition redesigns the panels on the midfoot to spell out KITH, which is seen in a stark white shade that contrasts the grey mesh base. Cream hues land on the tongue nearby, which plays host to pops of red via the Kith-branded tongue tag and a black-and-white pattern on the spine. More Kith branding is found near the midfoot in grey, while the toe contains XT-4K branding in red.
Salomon finds a home near the lateral heel, as the brand typically does on the standard XT-4. However, the heel counter gets redesigned to feature a fused overlay in white with grey details stamped atop. Final pops of red land on the extra stitching near the eyelets, the tongue lining, and the back of the sockliner. Finishing the look is a white and clear midsole paired with a trail-ready grey rubber outsole.
The Kith x Salomon XT-4K will release December 30, 2024, exclusively via Kith online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price has yet to be announced.
