New York lifestyle brand Kith is venturing into serious running territory through a multi‑year partnership with Swiss performance label On. The collaboration introduces the Kith for On Spring 2026 collection, headlined by two purpose‑built sneakers: K‑Tech 1 and K‑Tech 2.
The K‑Tech 1 is a performance running shoe that pairs a mesh upper with synthetic suede overlays and features brand‑new Cloudswift® tooling. A proprietary Kith Monogram treaded outsole provides traction and stability, while colorways include Black, Tofu and Tofu & Sea Moss.


K‑Tech 2 is designed for daily workouts and active lifestyles. It uses open mesh underlays for breathability and synthetic suede overlays for structure. Cloudswift® tooling returns, and the shoe arrives in three palette combinations—White & Real Teal, Thorn & Ganache, and Spirulina & Barley.
Both models incorporate On’s CloudTec® cushioning and dual‑density Helion™ foam to deliver responsive rides. Beyond footwear, the collection revisits On’s core apparel through Kith’s lens. Jackets, tees, tanks, shorts and pants come co‑branded and rendered in a color palette selected by Kith. Accessories include a lightweight cap and a two‑liter waist pack.


Kith is also launching a new Run Team based in New York City, bringing together local coaches and runners. Training began in February 2026, with their first half‑marathon scheduled for April. Consumers interested in the collection can enter a drawing in the Kith App from March 4 to March 5. The full release of footwear and apparel occurs March 6 at 11 AM EST across Kith stores and online.
The partnership highlights how a streetwear institution can seamlessly merge design sensibilities with performance technology, encouraging fans to hit the pavement in style.
