Kith x Columbia Return with the Nippon Snow Expedition Collection

Kith and Columbia reunite for the Nippon Snow Expedition collection, presenting winter-focused apparel, accessories, and footwear inspired by Japanese mountain landscapes and traditional motifs.

Kith and Columbia revive their partnership with the Nippon Snow Expedition collection, a winter-focused lineup spanning apparel, accessories, and footwear. The collection takes inspiration from Japanese mountain scenery, including landscapes associated with Hokkaido and Mount Yōtei, alongside traditional motifs and references to native wildlife such as red-crowned cranes and brown bears.

 

The apparel range combines Columbia’s technical construction with Kith’s design approach. The lineup is led by the 3L Ski Interchange™ Jacket, featuring a waterproof and breathable Omni-Tech™ fully seam-sealed outer shell and a reversible liner with Thermarator™ insulation. The collection also includes the 2L Ski Pant and 2L Ski Bib, both built with Omni-Tech™ protection and finished with Omni-Heat™ Infinity lining featuring Kith monogram detailing. Familiar silhouettes return as well, including the Sherpa Harper Jacket in Landscape and Ice Dye patterns, along with the Wyona Sweater, Nelson Hoodie, Vintage Tee, and co-branded loungewear.

 

Accessories extend the expedition theme through functional designs, highlighted by a carryall-style duffle bag equipped with multiple handle points, secure pockets, stowable straps, and custom artwork. Footwear is represented by the Newton Alpine boot, based on Columbia’s Newton Ridge™ silhouette and updated for winter conditions with shearling lining, OutDry™ technology, and durable protective detailing.

 

The Kith x Columbia Nippon Snow Expedition collection launches as part of Kith’s Monday Program™ on December 29 from 11:00 JST at Kith stores worldwide, as well as via Kith’s online platforms and app. In Japan, the collection is available the same day at Kith Tokyo and Kith Osaka.
