Kith and On debut their Spring 2026 collection

Starting at $190 for footwear

Kith, the New York-based lifestyle brand founded by Ronnie Fieg, has officially announced a multi-year partnership with Swiss performance running brand On. Arriving just in time to celebrate Kith’s 15th anniversary, the collaboration debuts with a big Spring 2026 collection that introduces two entirely original footwear silhouettes, a full apparel capsule, and performance accessories.
But wait, this isn’t just a one-off drop. There is a deeper interest from both brands, with Kith bringing its design language and community reach, and On contributing its technology and performance DNA.
If something signals how big running is (yet again) in the footwear industry, it’s that major streetwear players are investing to enter the running space.

The core of the collaboration is two brand-new sneaker silhouettes built from the ground up using On’s all-new Cloudswift tooling, engineered for superior speed and endurance, and featuring the co-branded Kith Monogram treaded outsole for stability and grip.
On x Kith K-Tech 1
A performance-driven model. It features a mesh upper with synthetic suede overlays and custom co-branded lockups throughout. The silhouette is available in three colorways: Black, Tofu, and Tofu & Sea Moss. Priced at $190, the K-Tech 1 targets runners who want technical capability without sacrificing aesthetics.
On x Kith K-Tech 2
Lifestyle-forward approach. It features open mesh underlays and synthetic suede overlays optimized for breathability and flexibility, making it suitable for both exercise and everyday wear. The K-Tech 2 arrives in three distinct color combinations: White & Real Teal, Thorn & Ganache, and Spirulina & Barley, each reflecting Kith’s curated color palette. Also priced at $190.
Beyond footwear, the collaboration extends to a full reimagining of On’s Core apparel collection. The lineup includes jackets, tees, tanks, sports bras, shorts, and pants, all reworked with On and K-Tech branding and rendered in Kith’s signature color palette.
The Spring 2026 drop also includes two key accessories. The Lightweight Cap 2.0 is constructed from recycled polyester for maximum ventilation and available in classic black and white colorways. The Waist Pack Lite 2L, built from high-strength nylon ripstop with reflective co-branded details, rounds out the capsule.
Perhaps the most significant element of this partnership is the launch of the Kith Run Team, a New York City-based collective of athletes, coaches, and local runners that marks Kith’s official entry into community-driven running. The team began training in February 2026 and is set to compete in its first race, a New York-based half-marathon, in April.
Drawings for the Kith for On footwear opened on March 4 and 5, exclusively via the Kith App. Remaining inventory will be released on March 6, 2026, available in-store, online, and through the Kith App. No mention yet if this will also be available via On’s website.
