In September 2019, the renowned NYC brand KITH collaborated with New Balance to introduce the KITH x 990v2 'Shark,' an updated version of the iconic streetwear classic from 1982. The design showcases a combination of materials such as pebbled leather tongue, nubuck, and leather on the upper, resulting in a visually appealing and multi-layered composition that enhances the silhouette's structure. To uphold a patriotic atmosphere, the word 'USA' is intricately embroidered on the heel, harmonizing with the New Balance branding found on the tongue. Furthermore, the shoe is equipped with an ABZORB midfoot and ENCAP midsole that work together to provide exceptional cushioning and support throughout the entire foot. To ensure maximum comfort, these elements are complemented by a full-foot rubber outsole, offering relentless cushioning and durability.
