Ronnie Fieg’s Kith and Japanese sportswear company Asics are adding a new chapter to their long-running collaboration in the form of six on-trend 2000s-style metallic running sneakers.
Set to launch this summer, a new batch of Kith x Asics footwear was shared on social media by photographer Tyler Mansour. Spanning the Gel-Kayano 12.1, Gel-Nimbus 10.1, Gel-Nunobiki and Jog 100S models, the range is varied yet unified by its use of earth tones and metallic synthetics. Each shoe also includes subtle Kith branding, some on the tongues, others on the insole.
Green is also a common color across many of the styles in the collection, although it appears in different shades. Two Kith x Asics Gel-Nimbus 10.1s are accented with a tennis ball-like neon green on Black/Pure Silver and White/Pure Silver bases, and there’s a Kith x Asics Gel-Nunobiki in Delicioso/Pure Silver balanced by a matcha-like green hue.
Elsewhere, Kith’s signature Gel-Kayano 12.1 model gets two earthy, aluminum-adorned styles in Tornado/Pure Silver and Peat/Cream. Lastly, the budget-friendly Jog 100S model rounds out the group in Espresso/Vanilla Ice.

Earlier in May, all six of the upcoming Kith x Asics summer 2025 styles hit eBay ahead of a formal reveal, but this new teaser by Mansour, a former Kith employee, serves as a more official introduction.
While Kith is known today for its countless licensed collaborations ranging from the likes of Sesame Street to BMW, one of its earliest product partners was Asics. With more than 100 sneaker collaborations between them, the Kith x Asics partnership began in 2007 and has primarily featured the Gel-Lyte 3 model.
Release and pricing information for the Kith x Asics summer ’25 range has not been announced, but more details are expected to be known soon.
