Because these colorways are exclusive to Kith US, they are notoriously difficult to find in Europe. Most fans in Italy are left watching drop dates closely, knowing that the limited supply usually leads to instant sell-outs and immediate price hikes on the secondary market.

Kith US Retail vs. Italian Secondary Markets

When looking at the financial logic, Kith US Retail vs. Italian Secondary Market prices show a massive gap that favors the US buyer. If you manage to buy at the retail price of approximately $175 USD, you are paying significantly less than the €350+ prices often seen on resale platforms in Italy once shipping and authentication fees are added.

The logic is simple: by using a tax-free US address from a freight forwarder like comGateway, you can secure the pair at the source. This method works because it bypasses the regional scarcity that drives up Italian prices. You get the authentic product directly from Kith, avoiding the risk of fakes that sometimes circulate in peer-to-peer marketplaces.

The BuyForMe Service: Solving Payment Rejections

One of the biggest hurdles for Italian shoppers at Kith, or other major US retailers like Nike and Sephora, is the payment wall. These stores often have strict fraud prevention systems that block international credit cards or orders with billing addresses outside the United States. It is incredibly frustrating to see your order cancelled minutes after a successful checkout.

This is where the "BuyForMe" service becomes essential. Instead of risking a cancellation, you can use comGateway's assisted purchase service. We buy the items on your behalf using a US domestic credit card, which the store views as a local transaction. This is the safest way to guarantee your Spring 2026 exclusives don't get cancelled while you are waiting for the confirmation email. If you have questions about how this works, the FAQ section has detailed steps on the process.

How to Ship from the US to Italy

Once your sneakers arrive at your comGateway suite, you have control over how they are sent to Italy. Shipping footwear across the Atlantic requires a reliable partner to ensure the box arrives in pristine condition. You can choose from various express carriers depending on your budget and urgency.

Before you ship, it is a good idea to use the shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost based on the weight of the New Balance box. This helps you avoid any surprises when the final invoice arrives. Also, check our guide on prohibited items to ensure that any extra accessories or cleaning kits you might have bought alongside your shoes are allowed for international transit.

Understanding Import Duties and Taxes in Italy

When the 1906R arrives in Italy, it will be subject to European Union customs regulations. Generally, you will be responsible for VAT and potential import duties. In 2026, these are calculated based on the declared value of the sneakers. While this adds to the total cost, the combined price of retail plus shipping and tax is still frequently lower than the price of buying from a local reseller.

Being prepared for customs tax ensures that your package isn't held up at the border. Most major carriers will handle the paperwork for you and send you an electronic invoice for the duties before delivery.

Final Tips for a Smooth Delivery

Securing a limited drop like the Kith for New Balance 1906R requires a bit of strategy. Always set up your forwarding address in your Kith account profile ahead of the drop time. If the store remains difficult with your local payment method, do not hesitate to switch to the BuyForMe service to save time. For any additional help, the support team is available to guide you through the logistics of your 2026 fashion hauls.
