Kith and Ronnie Fieg have ventured across the globe, both with their retail presence and collaborations, and continue to be pillars of the streetwear world. As always, more projects are on the horizon, including a new Nike collab.
Kith x Nike Air Force 1 Low Un-Linen Details
Yes, you read that right. Kith and Nike have another sneaker collab. The two titans have a history that dates back over a decade, officially beginning their collaborative endeavors in 2017 on the Air Maestro II and Air Pippen. However, Kith was tapped as the exclusive retailer to release the first-ever retro of the Nike Air Force 1 Low Linen a year prior in 2016. The pair was originally released in 2001 exclusively in Japan and would go down as one of the most coveted AF1s of all time. More recently it was retroed in 2024 in 1:1 fashion and earlier in 2025 with a new canvas upper.
The duo will be revisiting the Linen Air Force 1 Low, though reimagined as the "Un-Linen" colorway. Ronnie's favorite AF1 ever is the Linen, but this take on the sneaker inverts the color palette to feature pink hues on a nubuck upper and linen-shaded leather on the Swoosh. Originally, the sneaker was set to be a kids exclusive like the Kith x Nike collection from Holiday 2025, but Ronnie and The Swoosh are now planning on dropping the shoe in adult sizes as well. To go alongside the "Un-Linen" AF1, there is also a Linen Air Max 95.
