Kith and On Engineer New Silhouettes for a Multi-Year Run

Kith has formalized its entry into performance running with a multi-year partnership with Swiss brand On, marked by the release of two entirely original silhouettes: the K-Tech 1 and K-Tech 2.

The collaboration goes beyond a standard streetwear capsule, positioning running as a lifestyle aesthetic rather than just a sport. The performance-driven K-Tech 1 and the versatile K-Tech 2 were engineered from the ground up, featuring all-new Cloudswift tooling, CloudTec cushioning, and a dual-density Helion foam midsole.

The launch coincides with Kith's 15-year anniversary, signaling a shift from simply remixing existing models to developing proprietary footwear with a tech-focused partner.

The partnership also introduced a Spring 2026 apparel collection and the Kith Run Team, a New York-based community training for an April half-marathon.

The global release for the Spring 2026 collection passed on March 6, following exclusive footwear drawings on the Kith app earlier that week. The move cements Kith's intention to capture the growing overlap between technical running gear and everyday uniform.
