Why the Kith x New Balance 990v6 'Spring 2026 Edition' is the talk of Amsterdam

Released on April 10, 2026, the Kith x New Balance 990v6 'Spring 2026 Edition' has quickly become one of the most sought-after silhouettes of the season. Ronnie Fieg’s latest interpretation of the 990v6 features a sophisticated palette of pastel suedes and breathable mesh, perfectly timed for the changing weather. Because this specific colorway was a limited Kith-exclusive drop in the US, finding a pair in Rotterdam or Amsterdam usually means facing astronomical markups on the secondary market.

Calculating the real cost of importing to the Netherlands

When you look at local resale platforms, the price for this collaboration often exceeds €450. However, by using a freight forwarder to shop us store locations directly, the total cost might be lower than you expect. Here is a breakdown of the estimated costs when you use a tax-free us address in Oregon to avoid US sales tax.

To get a more precise figure for your specific location, you should use a shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost based on the final weight of the shoe box. Even with shipping, the price remains significantly lower than European resale prices.

Overcoming the Kith checkout barrier with proxy shopping

Despite the potential savings, many shoppers in the Netherlands face a major hurdle: the checkout process. Some US stores, including high-demand retailers like Nike, Sephora, Apple, and often Kith, have strict security protocols. They frequently block international credit cards or automatically decline orders that are sent to known shipping hubs.

The Problem: You have the funds and the address, but the store refuses to process your Dutch Mastercard or Visa, leaving you without the Kith x New Balance 990v6 'Spring 2026 Edition'.

The Solution: This is where proxy shopping through comGateway's "BuyForMe" service becomes essential. Instead of risking a cancellation, you provide the item details, and we buy the item on your behalf using a US domestic card and a local billing address.

Benefit: Using "BuyForMe" is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled by picky US retailers. It ensures that limited drops actually make it to your doorstep without the stress of credit card rejection.

Understanding import tax and VAT for Dutch shoppers

Before you commit to your purchase, you must account for the import tax and VAT. In the Netherlands, the standard VAT rate is 21%, and footwear over a certain value may be subject to additional customs duties. You can check our guide on customs tax to see how these fees are calculated for the EU.

Even after adding approximately 25-30% in import duties and taxes, the total cost for the Kith x New Balance 990v6 often lands around €330. Compared to the €450+ price tag on local resale markets, the "smart shopper" approach saves you over €100.

Steps to get your pair via a freight forwarder

If you are ready to secure this limited release, follow these steps to ensure a smooth international shipping experience:

• Sign up for a comGateway account to receive your own US address.
• Check the international shipping rates to choose between speed and cost.
• Use the "BuyForMe" service if you are shopping at a store that blocks non-US cards.
• Once your shoes arrive at our warehouse, use our international shipping service to send them to your home in the Netherlands.
• Track your package as it moves through DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping channels.

By using a reliable international shipping provider, you can enjoy US exclusives without the regional price gouging. Ready to start? Check the current shipping fees and bring the Spring 2026 palette to your wardrobe today.
