New Balance x Kith 990v3 Made In USA 'Tornado' — M990KT3

The pinnacle of American craft, filtered through Kith's lens. The New Balance x Kith 990v3 'Tornado' is a collaboration between two of the most respected names in premium sneaker and lifestyle retail — New Balance and Kith — built on the 990v3, one of NB's most celebrated Made in USA silhouettes, in a dark grey and white 'Tornado' colourway that delivers the kind of restrained, considered execution that both brands are known for.

Key Features

• Collaboration: New Balance x Kith — a partnership between New Balance and Ronnie Fieg's New York-based Kith retailer and brand; Kith collaborations with New Balance are among the most coveted and consistently executed in the premium sneaker space, characterised by precise material upgrades, elevated colourway selections, and deep mutual respect for NB's heritage running DNA
• Colorway: Tornado (M990KT3) — a dark grey and white colourway executed across the 990v3's premium leather and mesh upper; 'Tornado' is the official colourway name given by the collaboration; a refined, sophisticated palette that emphasises the 990v3's premium material quality without colour distraction
• Made In USA: Manufactured at New Balance's factories in the United States — specifically in Maine and Massachusetts — using domestic and imported materials; Made in USA 990 series sneakers represent the highest tier of New Balance production quality, with premium material sourcing, superior construction standards, and the craftsmanship associated with NB's American manufacturing heritage
• Model: 990v3 — the third generation of NB's landmark 990 series, originally introduced in 1982 as the first $100 running shoe; the 990v3 is widely considered one of the finest expressions of the 990 lineage, with a premium pigskin suede and mesh upper, a dual-density midsole, and a silhouette that has remained a touchstone for heritage running design across multiple decades

About Kith x New Balance

Kith, founded by Ronnie Fieg in New York, has built one of the most respected collaborative partnerships with New Balance in the modern sneaker era. Beginning with the 'Three Strikes' 998 in 2012, Kith x NB releases have consistently set the benchmark for what a premium sneaker collaboration can achieve: precise material storytelling, considered colourway narratives, and a shared commitment to quality that honours NB's American manufacturing heritage. The 'Tornado' 990v3 sits within this lineage — a Made in USA collaboration on NB's most celebrated silhouette, executed with the restraint and craft that defines both parties at their best. For collectors and heritage NB enthusiasts, a Kith x 990v3 Made in USA release is among the most significant acquisition targets in the broader NB ecosystem.
