Kith and Ronnie Fieg are capitalizing on a historic New York basketball moment with the adult release of the Kith x Nike Air Max 95 "Knicks," a colorway that first surfaced in a kids-focused Kith x Nike capsule at the end of 2025. That original drop included apparel and footwear built around Knicks-inspired colors, with the Air Max 95 drawing the most attention. Adult pairs were never made available to the public at the time, with only 36 examples produced and reserved for friends and family of Fieg and Kith.
The timing of the adult release is deliberate. With New York set to play in their first NBA Finals since 1999 and chasing their first championship since 1973, Fieg worked with Nike to push an adult-size version out in time for Game 1. The colorway leans into the team's identity through its palette, making the connection to the city feel immediate rather than incidental. Given how closely the original kids capsule tracked Knicks colors, the adult pair carries the same visual energy at a scale that can actually reach the broader fanbase.
The Kith x Nike Air Max 95 "Knicks" is set to release on June 3, 2026 through a pre-order raffle on the Kith app starting at 11 AM ET. Retail pricing has not been announced. As a pre-order release, winning pairs will not ship immediately.
