NYC-based KITH and Italy-based Slam Jam belong in the top tier when it comes to sneaker collaboration executions, and their latest partnership proves why yet again. After a sudden release last week with the help of UberRUSH, KITH now unveils the release date of the RF7000 inspired by one of Diadora’s earliest track shoes, with the signature color and re-formed asymmetrical toe being the key details of the design. Slam Jam takes a simpler take by drawing inspiration from the U.S. Navy; called the “Yvan” (Navy spelled backwards), Slam Jam’s V7000 features suede and cow leather and ample hits of blue to represent the American aquatic Armed Forces. Both pairs will be available this Friday, October 23rd, exclusively through KITH and Slam Jam retail channels (in-store and online, $200), so get a detailed look at the official imagery here.
