Kith continues to assert its authority in the world of refined sneaker collaborations with the New Balance 860v2 “Espresso” a design that perfectly blends technical performance roots with lifestyle sophistication. Following a complete renovation of Kith’s New York City flagship, this release feels both like a return and a renewal a statement that merges the past and present of Ronnie Fieg’s creative universe.
Inspired by the rich tones and tactile warmth of a perfectly brewed cup of coffee, the “Espresso” colourway dresses the early-2000s runner in plush brown suede overlays and breathable mesh underlays, creating a material dialogue between sport and leisure.
The layered suede textures wrap around the upper with precision, meeting a creamy beige finish on the New Balance “N” logo and tongue label that resembles the swirling crema atop a fresh pour-over. Every element feels deliberate designed to invoke that comforting moment of stillness that comes with your first sip.
Underfoot, the 860v2’s technical DNA remains intact. The midsole uses New Balance’s ABZORB and N-ERGY cushioning, ensuring modern comfort even as the aesthetic leans nostalgic.
The sole’s sculpted design enhances both stability and stance, while the subtle tonal contrast keeps the silhouette elegant from every angle. Even the laces, rendered in deep roast hues, echo the understated craftsmanship that defines both Kith and New Balance’s collaborative language.
