Kith and Nike Are Giving Us the Perfect Pink Drop of the Summer
Revamping the Linen Collection 10 years later.
Kith and Nike are teaming up again, and this time they’re leaning into pure sneaker nostalgia with a feminine twist. Say hello to The Linen Collection: a gorgeous, family-friendly release that reimagines one of Nike’s most coveted, archival colorways.
Originally debuting as a Japan-exclusive in 2001, the “Linen” palette became an instant grail for sneakerheads. After Kith famously brought it back with The Swoosh back in 2016, the duo is taking things a step further by flipping the script for 2026.
First up is the Air Force 1, which inverts the original design entirely. It features a dreamy, pastel pink nubuck upper, and its our new obsession. The soft pink accented by a rich “Linen” brown leather Swoosh and outsole, complete with custom embroidered heel tabs. If you’re looking for a sportier, streetwear classic, the Air Max 95 is the one for you, sporting a premium brown leather upper and chic reflective branding.
This drop is for the whole family, spanning adult down to toddler sizing. The children’s styles are extra special, limited to just 1,982 numbered pairs globally as a nod to Kith founder Ronnie Fieg’s birth year. While kids’ sizes ship immediately, adult pairs are a made-to-order web exclusive open until July 23.
The new and improved Linen Collection will be available to purchase starting July 20, exclusively on the Kith website and select retail locations.
