New York's Kith has released the Gel-Mai 0.1, a suede sneaker made with Giorgio Armani and ASICS. It comes in two colorways, and the pair featured on Kith's official page is called Monument / Quarry, a muted, stone-like palette.

The shoe belongs to the Giorgio Armani & Kith Fall/Winter 2026 collection, titled Dreams of the Dune. Soft, desert-toned suede gives a running-inspired silhouette a quieter, more refined look than a typical performance sneaker.

The sneaker went on sale October 16 and is sold only through Kith stores, Kith.com and the Kith app. For New Yorkers, the stores offer a chance to see the suede and the color up close before choosing a pair.

It brings together Armani's tailoring sensibility, ASICS's footwear engineering and Kith's street-level eye, and adds a distinctive option for fall and winter footwear.
