Kith and On expand K-Tech line with new K-Tech 3
Kith and On expand their ongoing footwear collaboration for Fall 2026 with the introduction of the K-Tech 3, the third original silhouette developed exclusively for the partnership and the first designed specifically for lifestyle use. The release follows the K-Tech 1 and K-Tech 2, introduced earlier in 2026, and extends the collaboration beyond performance-focused footwear into a model intended for everyday wear.
The K-Tech 3 combines a newly developed technical woven mesh upper with suede overlays, giving the silhouette a softer material contrast while retaining the technical language associated with On. Underfoot, the shoe uses Cloudzone 99 tooling with CloudTec® cushioning, Speedboard® technology for additional control and stability, and a newly designed rubber outsole. The model launches in two colorways, Triple Black and Storm.
Fall 2026 also introduces new versions of the earlier K-Tech silhouettes. The performance-oriented K-Tech 1 returns in a Shark colorway with its technical woven mesh upper, dual-density Helion™ foam midsole and Kith Monogram outsole, while the K-Tech 2 arrives in Grain and Ruby. Positioned between performance and everyday activity, the K-Tech 2 retains the same tooling as the K-Tech 1 while using a mesh upper with stitched overlays.
All three silhouettes incorporate On’s CloudTec® cushioning system and are available in both men’s and women’s sizing, creating a clearer three-part structure across the collaboration: K-Tech 1 for performance, K-Tech 2 for everyday activity and K-Tech 3 for lifestyle use. The footwear also forms part of Kith’s broader K-Tech Fall 2026 release, which includes technical apparel and accessories developed around movement and adaptable daily wear. The collection releases on September 18 at Kith stores worldwide and online at 11 AM local time in New York, London, Paris and Tokyo through Kith website and App.
