Kith and Columbia are set to make waves in the world of outdoor gear with their upcoming release of the Nippon Snow Expedition collection.
Exciting News Ahead!
On December 29, 2025, the Kith for Columbia NSE (Nippon Snow Expedition) collection will be launched internationally, showcasing a meticulously designed alpine gear range that draws inspiration from the stunning scenery of Hokkaido and the iconic Mount Yōtei. This collaboration represents a significant shift for Kith, marking its initial venture into high-performance hardgoods by introducing custom-designed skis and boots from Nordica, alongside snowboards from Capita and bindings from Union. Together, these elements create a comprehensive mountain kit tailored for professional use.
But here's where it gets intriguing: this collection doesn't just stop at equipment. It features an advanced line of technical apparel equipped with Omni-Tech™ and Omni-Heat™ Infinity technologies, ensuring both functionality and comfort in extreme conditions. Among the standout items is the 3L Ski Interchange™ Jacket, a versatile garment that boasts Omni-Tech™ waterproofing alongside a reversible Thermarator™ insulated liner. For those adventurers planning to tackle backcountry trails, the collection includes high-performance 2L Ski Bibs and Pants lined with Kith’s exclusive Omni-Heat™ Infinity material.
In a groundbreaking move, Kith has ventured into the realm of professional hardgoods, collaborating with Nordica for the first time. This partnership brings forth Kith's debut line of skis: the Enforcer 94 and Unleashed 106 models, along with the Speedmachine 3 130S Ski Boot, designed specifically to leverage Nordica’s renowned engineering prowess. To complete the equipment lineup, enthusiasts will find offerings from Capita snowboards, Union bindings, and custom accessories from Oakley, featuring MOD5 helmets and Flow Scape goggles. Every piece, from the luxurious “Newton Alpine” shearling-lined boots to the stylish “Sherpa Harper” jackets, is crafted to endure the harshest winters of Nippon while maintaining a sophisticated fashion-forward appearance.
Mark your calendars for December 29, when this collection will be available online as part of Kith’s Monday Program. Are you ready to elevate your winter adventure gear? What do you think about Kith's transition into high-performance sports equipment? Share your thoughts!
