- The trio marks the kickoff of Kith's fifteenth-anniversary celebration in 2026, with each colorway gated to specific Loyalty tiers as part of Ronnie Fieg's reworked customer-access system.
- The Kayano 12.1 has become a regular Kith canvas after years of Asics collaborations that helped establish the New York shop's reputation for technical-runner reinterpretations and tightly executed drops.
Kith kicked off the new year by announcing a change to their Loyalty program, a tiered account service that offers access to exclusive products. To launch the new system, they’ve teamed up with Asics for three styles of the GEL-Kayano 12.1, one for each tier of the program.
Kith is turning fifteen years old in 2026, a big milestone for the retailer that has changed the way we think about collaborations, exclusive drops, and blending high fashion with streetwear. As Kith store continue to expand across the globe, Ronnie Fieg and his team are making some changes to their loyalty program, the tiered system that gives longtime customers exclusive access to some of their projects. This week they announced a new color scheme for the program, renaming the colors to Paragon, Quartz, and Voyage, or tan, pink, and blue in order from lowest to highest.
To accompany the change in Loyalty program naming and colors, Kith has teamed up with Asics to release a trio of GEL-Kayano 12.1 styles in each of the new color schemes. The tech runner is no stranger to a Kith makeover, but these pairs will be available exclusively to program members, with access to each colorway doled out based on your Loyalty tier. The tan “Paragon” color scheme will only be available to that tier’s members, while “Quartz” tier participants will have access to both the pink and tan styles. “Voyage” level members get the most options, with access to all three styles available.
