Kith Reaches New Altitudes With First-Ever Pro Grade Ski And Snowboard Gear

Kith and Columbia Sportswear are closing out 2025 with a high-performance alpine drop. This pushes their long-running partnership firmly into the snow-sport arena. It debuts pro-level hardgoods alongside technical outerwear for the new Kith for Columbia NSE (Nippon Snow Expedition) collection. The line takes inspiration from the winter landscapes of Hokkaido and Mount Yōtei in Japan. It translates backcountry function into fashion-forward silhouettes for skiers, snowboarders, and style-led travelers.

What the NSE collection includes

The Kith for Columbia NSE collection delivers a full head-to-toe alpine system. Rather than a standard streetwear capsule, this collection is designed for harsh Nippon winters. The range pairs Columbia’s proprietary technologies with Kith’s refined design language. It is complemented by Japanese-inspired artwork.​

• A 3L Ski Interchange Jacket built around an Omni-Tech waterproof shell with a removable, reversible Thermarator insulated liner for adaptable warmth.​
• 2L Ski Bibs and Pants lined with Kith-monogrammed Omni-Heat Infinity material to retain heat without adding bulk.​
• Detailed graphics featuring momiji leaves, red-crowned cranes, and brown bears, tying the pieces back to Hokkaido’s alpine environment.​

First-ever Kith hard goods

In a major step for the brand, Kith moves into professional-grade ski and snowboard equipment with this release. The drop aligns the label with established performance leaders. This offers a complete mountain kit.​

• Collaboration with Nordica on the Enforcer 94 and Unleashed 106 skis plus the Speedmachine 3 130S ski boot, chosen for all-terrain versatility and precision.​
• Snowboards from Capita and bindings from Union, rounding out the snow lineup for multiple disciplines.​
• Protective hardware and eyewear from Oakley, including MOD5 helmets and Flow Scape goggles, coordinated with the collection’s visual identity.​

Technical fashion for the slopes

The collection is framed as “technical elegance,” where mountain-ready performance is built into a sleek, lifestyle-aware wardrobe. Pieces aim to transition from the backcountry to the lodge without compromising on warmth, durability, or aesthetics.​

• Newton Alpine shearling-lined boots and Sherpa Harper jackets emphasize insulation and comfort with streamlined shapes.​
• Omni-Tech and Omni-Heat Infinity fabrics anchor the outerwear, bringing waterproofing, breathability, and reflective warmth to the forefront.​
• Artwork and trims maintain a cohesive visual story while keeping branding relatively clean and elevated.​

Accessories, footwear, and lifestyle angle

Beyond the technical shell and equipment, the capsule includes lifestyle‑driven pieces tuned for travel, lodge time, and city wear in cold climates. These pieces keep the NSE narrative intact while opening the collection up to consumers who may never clip into a binding.​

• Newton Alpine shearling-lined boots and Sherpa Harper jackets prioritize warmth and traction while maintaining a slim, tailored profile suitable for city streets.​
• Beanies, gloves, and scarves carry co‑branded marks and Japanese-inspired motifs, working as entry-level pieces into the NSE story.​
• Cotton tees and crews—such as the Kith for Columbia NSE Tee – Black and matching crewneck sweaters—feature co‑branded graphics and Nippon mountain artwork, priced around $70.00 for tees and roughly $220.00 for knits on Kith’s official product pages.

The Kith for Columbia NSE collection launches globally on December 29, 2025, as part of the Kith Monday Program™. It will be available both online and in select Kith shops.
