The time has finally come. The opening of Kith Manhattan was last week and marked by some special New Balance DROPs but I have been waiting for these forever. The Leatherbacks were originally previewed months ago and feature a similar but totally different look to the elusive salmon toes. For this DROP Fieg once again goes with the Asics Gel Lyte III and premium materials. These feature a buttery leather for most of the upper with some signature blue highlights that have become so common with Fieg’s designs. The part that really makes them pop in my opinion is the grey toe area which contrasts that high quality leather so well. These release Friday morning at 11am EST in Kith Manhattan with 40 individually numbered pairs releasing in store with the limited Good Wood boxes, wood dog tags, and a Kith matching tshirt. The remaining pairs will be online at the Kith website and are sure to sell out in minutes. I’ve got my calendar marked and reminder set for the DROP that’s for sure! Lets just hope my ISP doesn’t drop the ball like it did on me for the Salmon Toes. (photos courtesy of Vagrant Sneaker)
