The initial release in the partnership of adidas Originals and artist Daniel Arsham was the Daniel Arsham x New York sneaker, marking the beginning of a three-shoe collaboration. Designed to reflect Arsham's Future Relic art project, the shoe boasts a strikingly simple and clean appearance with a chalk white canvas upper and deliberately frayed edges. Notably, the heel bears the phone number derived from Arsham's payphone installation at Kith's flagship store, and under UV light, blue stitching and the phrase 'THE PAST IS PRESENT' are revealed on the midsole. This highly sought-after shoe was exclusively available at Kith NYC when it was launched in July 2017.
