I’m hella confused. Are these a retro or a new kith collab:

This is the most bizarre collab ever. These look not too different from M990NV2... And the other pair of v2 that appeared on his IG were were defin on eBay. I don't get it, Ronnie. Just give me salmon sole anything.

Can anyone comment on how sizing is across the different 990 versions? I'm specifically wondering how the v2 compares to the v3/v4. TIA

Length is same for me, v1/2 a little more narrow than recent versions. I wear same size across all.

Thank you very much, I was hoping that I could stick with the same size

Used to do this all the time... wait a few months after the grs are gone, add some rope laces, and viola... “kithstrikes”.

So, what we have learned is that Ronnie's essentially got four shoes coming out, two 998s and 990v2s, all four of which have been available online at one point this summer for half off on eBay (as well as other shops around the world). If ANYONE's got any idea of why this happened I'd love for you to spill the beans (I know there are NB employees on this thread so SPEAK UP!!!!). Here are pics if anyone is interested:

And of course, courtesy of the legend himself, feelmeguilty :

I guess i need to change my caption about 'when the GRs are better than the collabs' lol

Damn, Ronnie bought out navy blue?

 

[thecheef]

I doubt they are his collabs - just showing them off with his upcoming clothing collection (probably will be "exclusive" to Kith but end up releasing elsewhere)

Crying @ "A color out of the Kith palette"

 

[feelmeguilty]

I don't think Ronnie would peddle non-collabs for his annual show. seems to be a pretty big deal to him. If the story i heard about the leaked pairs is true, its pretty damn funny, and it benefited those of us that didn't care if the v2 and 998 were a collab or not. and for half off at that.

and to be fair, none of those 990/3/6/7 that hit the kith site were ever branded as 'kith versions' anyways. that was stockx and goat.
