Featuring slyly in Kith’s wider Spring ‘23 preview and Brian Cranston’s modelling gig for the NYC brand, Ronnie Fieg has now unveiled his latest three-way collab with adidas and Clark’s, fusing each brand’s DNA over a model that’s had something of a resurgence in recent times, presenting three clean colourways that will surely sit for no-time at all when they release this Friday.
The adidas Samba is a model familiar to Kith, featuring twice in past collaborations and returning now with a crepe sole, suede uppers, and debossed detailing.

Although heavily influenced by the Samba, the shoe is officially dubbed the ”8th Street” - referencing Fieg’s first job at the David Z shoe store in NYC, which was situated on the very same road.
The upper shape is taken straight from adidas’ Samba and constructed from Clark’s signature soft suede, complemented by another Clark’s specialty on the thick crepe sole. The shoe is set to drop in three colourways - dark green, beige/green and tan. Each design is complete with a leather heel lining and Ronnie Fieg x adidas x Clarks tri-branding on the tongue, tonal leather sock liner, fobs, and box.
