Kith and Nike are teaming up on the Linen Collection, a full-family release that pays homage to one of Nike's most iconic colorways. The collection reworks the Linen story on the Air Force 1, where it first appeared, and introduces it to the Air Max 95 for the first time.
Linen's history with Nike starts in Japan, where the colorway appeared on an Air Force 1 regional exclusive in 2001. It later became one of the brand's most coveted finishes, then resurfaced in 2016 when Kith helped Nike reintroduce it for the opening of the label's Miami flagship. That return deepened Kith's connection to Linen, and the colorway now anchors the new collection.
On the Air Force 1, Kith and Nike flip the script with a mostly Atmosphere pink nubuck upper, Linen brown leather Swooshes, matching outsoles, and a white midsole. Kith for Nike branding lands on the heel tabs as embroidered Swoosh logos.
The Air Max 95 takes the same palette in a different direction, wrapping the upper in Linen brown leather and adding lenticular reflective branding at the heel and lace lock. Adult and GS pairs also carry an embossed Kith hit on the medial side.
The full collection spans adult, GS, PS, and TD sizing, and the children's pairs are individually numbered and capped at 1,982 globally, a nod to Ronnie Fieg's birth year. That limited run keeps the kids offering tightly focused while the adult pairs carry the wider rollout.
When is the Linen Collection releasing?
Kith stores, Kith.com, and the Kith App carry the drop, with GS, PS, and TD pairs available immediately at checkout in store or online, while adult sizes go live as made-to-order web exclusives with a four month delivery timeline. The collection releases on Monday, July 20, at 11AM EST/CET/GMT/JST. It arrives in the middle of July and sits in Nike's Fall 2026 rollout window. Fall generally runs from July through September.
