New Balance 993 by Kith
I'm ngl, this might be my favorite pack that Kith has ever designed as one of their exclusive cws. The 'pistachio' color is truly gorgeous in hand. If I'm being honest, once you put these on feet, I feel like that is where the colorway shines ✨.
Materials: the choice of materials on this design was perfect. The 'pistachio' suede that covers the majority of the upper is very soft to touch and has a very nice color change while brushing across it. My favorite part of this design is the squiggle mesh. This is beginning to feel like Ronnie's signature when he does a New Balance design & I'm all for it. The different mesh used gives it a more premium touch to the overall design & tbh feels more comfortable on foot as well. Overall, i feel like the design team over at kith truly nailed this one 🔥
Comfort: the 993 is one of my favorite models. I personally find the 993 more comfy than the 992. It has a soft and squishy feel to it on foot, while also maintaining a nice stable feel. The 993 could easily be worn all day without any pain at the end of the night. In terms of sizing, I went down a half size (7.5 US) and they fit me perfectly.
Overall Opinion: i am very grateful to have been able to grab these during the drop. These honestly look gorgeous on feet & are my personal favorite Kith exclusive to date. The shading of blue is WAY nicer in hand than what you see in photos. Given that it is a 993 and an easy to wear color, I can honestly say this has been my most worn pickup as of recently and lowkey want to double up 🥴. If you slept on this pair...I wouldn't, but that's just my opinion 🤷.
If you made it this far I wanted to say thank you for taking time out of your night to read my thoughts. Thank you for the continued support over the past year.
Much love ❄️
