Three icons. One silhouette. The KITH x Clarks x Adidas Originals 8th Street Samba is one of the most ambitious three-way collaborations in sneaker history — uniting Ronnie Fieg’s KITH, British heritage footwear institution Clarks, and Adidas Originals in a celebration of street culture, craftsmanship, and the timeless Samba silhouette. Named after the legendary 8th Street in New York City — the spiritual home of sneaker culture — this collaboration is a love letter to the streets that shaped modern footwear.
Key Features
- Upper: Premium suede and leather construction blending Clarks’ heritage material expertise with Adidas Originals’ iconic Samba paneling — elevated with KITH’s signature attention to detail and material selection

- Three Stripes: Iconic Adidas Three Stripes branding on the lateral side, reinterpreted through the collaborative lens of all three brands
- Gum Outsole: Translucent gum rubber outsole with classic Samba traction pattern — a nod to the silhouette’s indoor football court origins
- Co-Branding: KITH, Clarks, and Adidas Originals co-branding throughout — on the tongue, insole, and heel tab
- Silhouette: Low-top trainer / court shoe profile with elevated platform — the Samba reimagined for the modern street
- Colorway: IH5691 — a refined, premium palette that reflects the collaborative vision of all three brands
The 8th Street Legacy
8th Street in New York City has long been synonymous with sneaker culture — a stretch of Manhattan where sneakerheads, collectors, and style icons have gathered for decades to discover the latest and greatest in footwear. By naming this collaboration after this legendary block, KITH, Clarks, and Adidas pay homage to the street-level culture that has always been at the heart of sneaker history. The result is a shoe that is simultaneously a collector’s piece and a wearable tribute to the streets.
The Samba Legacy
Originally designed in 1950 for football training on frozen pitches, the Adidas Samba has evolved into one of the most iconic and versatile sneaker silhouettes in history — embraced by footballers, musicians, skaters, and fashion icons across seven decades. The KITH x Clarks x Adidas 8th Street Samba takes this legendary foundation and elevates it to new heights, both literally and figuratively.
