Earlier this year, Ronnie Fieg broke the internet with his coveted Clarks x Adidas collab. And now, a mere nine months later, he's ready for round two with the Ronnie Fieg x Clarks x Adidas Samba ‘Kithmas.’ Dropping as part of the New York City streetwear label's Holiday 2023 collection, if the first pair was anything to go by, these are going to sell out.
Just like the original ‘Chalk White’ that was revealed back in March, this Xmas edition works on top of a creamy suede base and is overlaid by light grey nubuck across the front. Matching cotton laces tie everything together, and down below, the chunky crepe rubber midsole has been swiped straight from the Clarks Wallabee silhouette. It's a combo that just works way too well.
But, unlike the original ‘Chalk White,’ the dark green details have been replaced with burgundy, navy, and green accents instead. And all of this is packed in a special shoebox and comes with some equally-as-special custom insoles, which has been debossed with the logos of Fieg, Clarks, and Adidas. A triple threat!
While two-way collabs are the norm these days, three-way ones are still outrageously rare. In 2023 alone, the sneakerverse been blessed with some mega trios, including the Bephie's Beauty Supply x Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High, the Clot x Fragment Design x Nike Dunk Low, the Jean Paul Gaultier x Sacai x Nike Vaporwaffle Woven, and, obviously, the Ronnie Fieg x Clarks x Adidas Samba (duh).
As you may have already gathered, the Ronnie Fieg x Clarks x Adidas Samba ‘Kithmas’ is set to drop on December 25 (Christmas Day!) exclusively at Kith, and will set you back around £180. Expect resale prices to be double or even triple that, though.
