KITH X COLUMBIA

Kith and Columbia Sportswear strengthen their long standing partnership with a new project titled Kith for Columbia NSE, short for Nippon Snow Expedition.
Designed for alpine environments, the collection combines technical expertise with a contemporary visual language inspired by snowy landscapes such as Hokkaido and Mount Yōtei.
This new chapter moves away from traditional streetwear silhouettes to focus on a complete winter uniform built for demanding conditions.

Performance sits at the core of the project through the integration of Columbia’s proprietary technologies, including Omni Tech for waterproof protection and Omni Heat Infinity for thermal regulation.
The range features modular jackets and ski trousers engineered to provide insulation, mobility and protection while maintaining Kith’s attention to detail and finishing.
Visual elements reference Japanese culture through patterns inspired by autumn foliage, red crowned cranes and natural scenery.

The collaboration extends beyond apparel with the introduction of professional grade equipment, including custom Nordica skis, Capita snowboards, Union bindings and technical Oakley helmets and goggles.
By expanding into hard goods, Kith and Columbia present a cohesive approach to modern alpine gear, where functionality and design operate together within a unified vision of contemporary mountain wear.
