Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Saga "Neptune Blue"

EDIT: The archived live blog is up! Hit the jump and scroll through this post to see how it all went down at Kith Manhattan.

For the past few Ronnie Fieg collaboration releases, Dylan and I have given you all video recaps from the Kith Manhattan shop. While the videos are fun, we have decided to take a different route in recapping this big release: a live blog! Dylan and I will be posting from our personal Twitter pages (Dylan: @MusicIsGood4U, Jake: @jakepulver) as the drop is going on at the shop, highlighting frequent shoppers and what they have to say, and documenting everything else as it happens. Later, we will compile all of our tweets and post everything on this post in chronological order. However, if you want to catch everything live, make sure to follow both me and Dylan on Twitter.

Here are some of this weekend’s notable releases:

Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Saga “Neptune Blue” – Friday, August 3rd

Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Saga "Neptune Blue"

Tomorrow, Friday, August 3rd, marks the release of the “Neptune Blue” Gel Saga, Ronnie Fieg’s latest sneaker design (and the recent hot topic on Sole Camp). The shoe will hit shores at Kith’s two retail stores in Manhattan (644 Broadway) and Brooklyn (233 Flatbush Ave), as well as KithNYC.com, at 11 AM. You can buy the sneaker individually for $145, or in a bundle, available in-store only, with a Quintin x Kith 5-panel hat and Kith “Neptune Blue” duffel bag for $225. Anyone who wants to snag a pair of the oceanic sneakers can start waiting it out at either Kith location at 7 PM tonight, or just try online tomorrow morning.

EDIT: According to a tweet that Kith just put out, you will only be able to buy the $225 bundle if you buy the sneakers from either roy the Kith retail locations. If you want the sneakers separately, you will have to test your luck on the Kith website.

Air Jordan IV Retro White/Varsity Red-Black – Saturday, August 4th

Air Jordan IV Retro White-Varsity Red-Black

The latest Air Jordan Retro to hit stores will be the White/Varisty Red-Black Air Jordan IV. Even though the shade of red used on it is not the same as on the OG pair (“Fire Red”), it should still be a pretty hot commodity for Jordan fans across the globe. You can get this shoe at your local Jordan Brand retailer this Saturday, August 4th, or $160. If you want a more detailed look at this shoe, stay tuned…

Concepts x New Balance 999 “SEAL”

Concepts x New Balance 999 "SEAL"

The last release for this weekend is yet another killer: Boston sneaker haven Concepts‘ latest collab with New Balance, the SEAL 999. Based on the footwear of the US Navy Sea, Air, and Land teams, the shoe mixes comfort, wearability, and quality all in one subtle design. You can purchase the SEAL 999 (and its accompanying Arcteryx SEAL jacket) on Saturday, August 4th at Concepts (37 Brattle St, Cambridge, MA) in-store at 10 AM or on shop.cncpts.com at 12 PM. If you plan on getting the shoes in-store, get there early! If not, good luck!

Yesterday, a cool little package came in from a cool little shop in NYC with some Slate/Cove shoes. Here is a video that we made by the Long Island Sound detailing the “Neptune Blue” Asics Gel Saga.

Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Saga "Neptune Blue" Bundle

Now that the #Kithstrike has passed, the official release of the “Neptune Blue” Gel Saga is on the way. On Friday, August 3rd (this upcoming Friday), the sneaker, laden with slate grey nubuck and cove blue accents, will release at Kith Manhattan, Kith Brooklyn, and KithNYC.com for $145. Additional features of the shoe to note are the white accents, lavender lining, and 3 options for laces, lavender flat, grey flat, and grey/cove round. In addition, Kith is also releasing an in-store bundle with the “Neptune Blue” Gel Saga. Priced at $225 and limited to 100 sets per store, it includes the shoe, a black/white/cove Quintin x Kith “Just Us” 5-panel hat, and a blue/white duffel bag constructed with canvas and a leather handle. As mentioned on their website, Kith will not let anyone line up at either of their retail locations before 7 PM on Thursday, August 2nd, so do not try to camp or be tricky about it, because you will then not be allowed to purchase the sneaker. Jake and I will try on make it out to Kith Manhattan on Friday like we always do, but are not sure if we’re going to be there yet. Either way, be safe, and good luck! Also, check below for shots of each individual piece of the “Neptune Blue” bundle. (more…)

Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Saga "Neptune Blue"

Like Kith has done for some of Ronnie Fieg’s recent sneaker designs (“Mazarine Blue” Asics Gel Saga, “Steel Blue” New Balance 999), they dropped a small helping of the upcoming Ronnie Fieg-designed “Neptune Blue” Asics Gel Saga yesterday afternoon in #Kithstrike fashion. Both Jake and I lucked out on that, but if you didn’t, stay tuned for an official release date on the shoe, as Kith has said themselves that the date is coming soon. In the meanwhile, you can check out some more detailed images of the “Neptune Blue” Gel Saga below.

Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Saga "Neptune Blue" worn by Adam Zenou

Apparently, the “Neptune Blue” Gel Saga, Ronnie Fieg’s latest Asics design, is coming. Soon. Ronnie himself posted a picture of him wearing a pair of the Sagas a few days ago, and since then, a few of the other KithSet members, Adam Zenou, Nick Annacone, & Andy Oliver, have all broke out their pairs. The most notable things to take away from the pictures are that the shoe will come with round Blue/White laces and Grey laces, and that the “Slate” shade used on the upper is somewhere between a straight Grey (like in Ronnie and Andy’s pictures) and a Purplish/Navyish Grey (like in Adam and Nick’s pictures). Now all we need is a release date! Stay tuned to Sole Camp for more information, and look below for more views of the “Neptune Blue” Gel Saga. (more…)

Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Saga "Neptune Blue" Preview

Ronnie Fieg is made sure that the summer started off nice with the release of his “Steel Blue” New Balance 999. Now, he’s making sure the summer stays hot with a preview of his upcoming collaboration with Asics, the “Neptune Blue” Gel Saga. Ronnie recently posted a few pictures from the photo shoot for the sneaker, which will feature @alishainwonderland (on Instagram). In the above picture, we can see the sneaker’s cool Slate Grey upper, nice Cove Blue accents (inspired by Neptune, the Roman god of the ocean), and killer hits of 3M. Stay tuned to Sole Camp for more information on this upcoming Kith release, and in the meanwhile, check out two more sexy shots from the photo shoot below. (more…)
