The Kith x New Balance 1906R "Rosewood" is a focal point of 2026 streetwear. This collaboration features a sophisticated palette of burgundy, cream, and soft pink tones, utilizing premium mesh and synthetic overlays. As a US-exclusive release through Kith, availability in Europe is non-existent at the retail level. This scarcity has driven demand across the Netherlands, where sneaker collectors are looking for ways to acquire the pair without paying exorbitant reseller premiums.

Price Comparison: US Retail vs. EU Resale

The retail price for this pair in the US is approximately $170 (approx. €158). On secondary markets in the EU and Asia, prices for the "Rosewood" colorway frequently exceed €300 before international shipping and authentication fees. By using a freight forwarder to access US inventory, shoppers can save roughly €140 on the base price of the shoe. Even after accounting for shipping and VAT, the total landed cost remains significantly lower than buying from local resellers.

Resolving Payment Blocks with BuyForMe

Kith is known for strict order cancellation policies, often declining international credit cards or orders directed to known shipping hubs. This is the primary hurdle for shoppers in the Netherlands trying to shop US store exclusives.

The BuyForMe service solves this problem. Under this proxy shopping arrangement, comGateway uses a US-based payment method to purchase the sneakers on your behalf. This ensures the order is accepted as a domestic US transaction, significantly reducing the risk of cancellation. This assisted purchase method is the most reliable way to secure high-demand drops from retailers that block foreign cards.

Netherlands Import Customs and Taxes

When your package arrives in the Netherlands, it will be subject to import duties and VAT. Since the value of the Kith x New Balance 1906R exceeds €150, you should expect to pay both the 21% VAT and the applicable footwear duty. Utilizing a tax-free US address in Oregon via comGateway ensures you do not pay US sales tax, which helps offset the customs tax costs upon arrival in Europe.

How to Order Step-by-Step

Follow this step-by-step guide to get your sneakers delivered to the Netherlands:

  • Sign up for a parcel forwarding service to receive your personal Oregon warehouse address.
  • Submit a request through the BuyForMe service with the Kith product link and your size.
  • Once the item reaches the warehouse, use the shipping calculator to choose your preferred delivery speed.
  • Wait for your package to arrive at your door in the Netherlands.
