The Kith x New Balance 2011 “Monuments” Collection Builds New York Landmarks Into Every Panel
Kith's New York series is the rare collaboration with a thesis: the city as a print. The 2011 is the sleeper in it.
Most collabs put a second logo on a shoe and call it a story; Kith's Monuments work builds the reference into the upper, which is why those pairs survive the season they were made for. The 2011 is the least discussed silhouette in the set and therefore the one that has not been priced for its association. Kith's own apparel shelf is the cheaper way into the collection — and it is usually the first thing to sell out at retail.
Kith has 42 live asks on the shelf today; these 3 run $40–$400. None of them is claimed to be the exact piece in the story — check size, condition and colourway on each row before you buy.
