Kith x New Balance 998 Broadacre City

Ronnie Fieg presents the MADE in USA 998, featuring a colorway and design inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's visionary Broadacre City concept. Broadacre City is not a city at all, but a reimagining of how Wright envisioned people organizing themselves outside of dense urban environments; opting to live at a smaller scale among farms and forests, connecting with the land and with each other. This concept was Wright’s way to address inequality, to distribute and use resources fairly, and to be gentler on the Earth. Although introduced in 1935, these ideas were far ahead of their time and are more relevant today than ever. This year marks the 35th anniversary of the 998, which introduced ABZORB cushioning for the first time in 1993. This legacy of engineering innovation makes the 998 a perfect canvas for a design based on the work of the visionary architect. The MADE in USA 998 features a classic mesh upper, with pigskin suede and hairy suede overlay panels adding a varied sense of texture. The colorway features cream white alongside earthy brick red and olive green, a palette drawn from the architectural sketches and models of the conceptual Broadacre City.
