Kith Brings "Linen" Heritage to a Kid-Exclusive Nike Air Max 95 Collection

Ronnie Fieg and his Kith empire are doubling back on the Nike Air Max 95 silhouette. Having launched elevated takes on the model as part of a Kith Kids collection in November 2025, the New York City-based team has recently reimagined Sergio Lozano's design in a "Linen" makeover exclusively for Kids.

Akin to most popular releases of the AM95 from over the last year, Kith's "Linen" Air Max 95 features a Big Bubble Air Max unit at the heel. The viz-tech cushioning is done in a pink "Atmosphere" tone, complementing the sand-reminiscent color that takes over all of the leather overlays across the upper. Lace loops, lateral heel Swooshes, and bits of the outsole also indulge in pink finishes, rounding out the beloved color scheme.

For the uninformed, the "Linen" look first appeared on an Air Force 1 Low in 2001. The tan-and-pink look was exclusive to Japan as part of Nike's CO.JP program. Fieg and the Swoosh teamed up in 2016 to re-release the spring-friendly AF-1 to commemorate the opening of Kith Miami; the sneaker's pastel tones were appropriate of South Florida.

A global Nike SNKRS launch eventually took place in 2024.

In March 2025, Nike reimagined the "Linen" Air Force 1 with a canvas upper, abandoning the original style's leather execution.

Kith's Kid-exclusive Air Max returns to a high-quality leather upper. "Kith Air" text appears on the spine, while a Swoosh-accompanied Kith logo replaces traditional "airmax" branding on the top-of-the-tongue.

It's possible Kith's "Linen" pairs only release via Kith channels. Sizing for Big Kids, Little Kids, and Toddlers is expected to release soon.
