New York basketball is back on the NBA’s biggest stage, and Kith is leaning into the moment with perfect timing.
Ronnie Fieg has announced that the Kith x Nike Air Max 95 “Knicks” will release in adult sizing through a pre-order raffle, giving fans another shot at one of Kith’s most talked-about recent Nike pairs. The drop arrives as the Knicks prepare for their first NBA Finals appearance since 1999, making the colorway feel even more connected to the city right now.
The sneaker first appeared as part of Kith and Nike’s kids-focused collection at the end of 2025. That capsule included apparel and footwear built around Knicks-friendly colors, with the Air Max 95 standing out immediately. Adult pairs, however, were never released to the public. Only 36 pairs were made in adult sizing, reserved for friends and family of Ronnie Fieg and Kith.

That changes on June 3, 2026. According to Fieg, Nike helped make the adult release happen in time for Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Instead of a standard launch, the Kith x Nike Air Max 95 “Knicks” will be offered through a pre-order raffle on the Kith app starting at 11 AM ET.
Retail pricing has not been announced yet. Since this is a pre-order release, winners should not expect pairs to ship right away. A longer wait is likely, though that probably will not slow down demand.
With the Knicks chasing their first championship since 1973, this release hits at the right time. The Kith x Nike Air Max 95 “Knicks” already had serious energy behind it, but an adult-size drop tied to the Finals gives the pair a much bigger moment.
