Kith’s adoration of Marvel heroes comes to a head once again with its latest capsule in honor of the 85th Anniversary of the legendary institution, only this time around, the focus is on EVISU x ASICS Hooded Sweatshirt of all-time. This August 8th, the New York-based retailer will officially launch its five-shoe collection inspired by the greatest to ever grace the cover of a comic-book.
First teased just days before San Diego Comic Con, the Kith x Marvel x ASICS 85th Anniversary Collection is a five-shoe capsule that includes the ASICS GT-2160 and one lone GEL-Kayano 14. Spider-Man, Venom, Green Goblin, Magneto, and Silver Surfer grace each silhouette in their own comic-appropriate colorways, each packaged with insoles featuring archival illustrations. Alternating branding featuring Marvel and Kith are placed at the heels.
Each pair will come attached with a unique comic book, each with varying levels of rariity and officially authenticated by PSA. Despite its various projects with Marvel (including their X-Men 60th Anniversary release last year), this marks the first-ever authenticated comic-book by Kith.
Spider-Man and Venom are actually a conjoined two-pair package, highlighting one of the foremost rivalries in the history of Marvel. The remaining three versions (Green Goblin, Magneto, Silver Surfer) will release as solo pairs.
The entire Kith x Marvel 85th Anniversary Collection with ASICS releases exclusively at Kith on August 9th, 2024. It’ll be available in-store at all Kith locations and online at 11 AM ET at all of the shop’s online stores and the Kith App.
