Kith is closing out 2025 with the launch of the Kith for Columbia NSE (Nippon Snow Expedition) collection, marking a shift from streetwear toward a fully realized alpine uniform. Inspired by Hokkaido and Mount Yōtei, the collection blends technical performance with refined aesthetics, integrating traditional Japanese motifs such as momiji foliage, red-crowned cranes, and brown bears. As a result, the line positions itself at the intersection of high-fashion sensibility and professional-grade outdoor functionality.
Technical Apparel and Outerwear
The collection’s centerpiece is the 3L Ski Interchange™ Jacket, a two-layer system featuring Omni-Tech™ waterproofing and a reversible Thermarator™ insulated liner. Complementing the jacket are high-performance 2L Ski Bibs and Pants lined with Kith-monogrammed Omni-Heat™ Infinity material, designed for backcountry conditions. Each piece emphasizes technical elegance while incorporating intricate cultural references, ensuring both protection and visual sophistication.
Hardgoods and Accessories
For the first time, Kith expands into professional-grade hardgoods through a collaboration with Nordica. The debut includes skis — the Enforcer 94 and Unleashed 106 — along with the Speedmachine 3 130S Ski Boot. Additional equipment comprises Capita snowboards, Union bindings, and custom Oakley hardware, including MOD5 helmets and Flow Scape goggles. From the “Newton Alpine” shearling-lined boots to the “Sherpa Harper” jackets, the collection combines alpine functionality with a high-fashion silhouette. The full range becomes available online on December 29 as part of Kith’s Monday Program.
