Kith has unveiled its latest collaboration with Marvel and Capcom, a multifaceted collection drawing inspiration from vintage arcade culture and the storied history of the Marvel vs. Capcom crossover. The collection is strategically divided into three parts: one dedicated to Marvel, one to Capcom, and a third featuring tri-branded artwork from classic crossover screens.

The apparel range includes vintage tees, Nelson Hoodies, Crewnecks, and Rugbys, with graphic tees designed to complement the ASICS footwear collaboration. Key characters like Iron Man, Wolverine, Mega Man, and Ryu are featured prominently across the garments.

A highlight of the collaboration is the footwear, marking Kith and Marvel’s third year partnering with ASICS, now also including Capcom. The drop also presents six custom sneaker silhouettes across two double boxes and two single boxes, utilizing the GEL-KAYANO 12.1, GEL-NIMBUS 10.1, and the GEL-KAYANO 14 models. Character pairings include Guile and Captain America, Iron Man and Mega Man, plus solo designs for Wolverine and Ryu.

Further cementing the retro theme, Kith partners with Arcade 1Up for an at-home arcade system pre-loaded with eight Marvel vs. Capcom games and also releases a Capcom Edition Super Pocket handheld gaming device with Hyper Mega Tech.

Check out the apparel above. The collection, which also features collectibles and custom comic blind boxes, is set to release globally on Friday, November 14.
