Ronnie Fieg continues to explore New Balance’s rich archives by reviving the often-overlooked ABZORB 2010 silhouette. This collaborative project marks a new chapter in Fieg’s longstanding partnership with the Boston-based brand, infusing performance roots with contemporary lifestyle sensibilities.
Originally designed with innovation in mind, the ABZORB 2010 features a comprehensive rebuild, spotlighting premium materials and intricate craftsmanship. The upper is crafted from a refined mix of pig suede and synthetic nubuck overlays, combined with breathable mesh underlays for enhanced comfort and texture. Unique Kith elements include custom tongue tags, Fieg’s branding on the insoles, and a debossed Kith monogram on both lateral and medial “N” logos.
The duo presents two distinct colorways: one showcasing a subtle palette with deep purple, burgundy, and soft blue tones, while the other opts for high contrast with black, yellow, and violet hues, finished with tonal outsoles highlighted by purple or silver pod accents that pay homage to the shoe’s technical heritage.
The release coincides with the grand reopening of Kith Manhattan on May 16, 2025, where the Ronnie Fieg x Kith x New Balance ABZORB 2010 collection will be available exclusively in-store. Drawings for the release will also open via the Kith App on the same day, with a global rollout scheduled for May 19, 2025, across all Kith shops and online platforms.
