An exciting lineup of collaborations will lead 2025 as Kith joins forces with Clarks Originals and adidas to reintroduce a renewed version of the classic Samba shoe. The joint venture unites creative perspectives from three brands to create footwear that merges classic heritage elements with innovative design and subtle luxury fashion details.

The release features the Samba style that will draw attention from both retro sneaker fans and fresh sneaker wearers searching for something new. Getting your hands on these pairs will be difficult because of their limited availability combined with the expected higher price and fortunately lucky buyers will be able to add them to their collection. The sneakers will be available at Kith's official website and select flagship stores. The price of the sneakers is not confirmed.


Kith x Clarks x adidas Samba Sneakers: More Details

adidas made the Samba soccer training shoes in the 1950s which later became a worldwide symbol of streetwear. Since its earliest appearance as a dedicated soccer training sneaker, it transformed into a streetwear essential known for both its straightforward design and extensive wearability. A joint project by Kith and Clarks Originals alongside adidas creates a modernized Samba that respects its heritage base.


Design and Aesthetics

The new sneaker honors the Samba silhouette while incorporating Clarks and Kith-inspired design tweaks and materials interpretation. Luxurious elegance emerges from black leather materials which form the upper part of the shoe. This Samba adaptation moves beyond its traditional design by using curved stitching instead of the iconic t-made toe overlay. A design element found in this model advances classic strikes of the Predator Mundial and Mundial Team yet preserves a connection between original looks and contemporary style.

Three white leather stripes along the sides of this design stand out as a fundamental branding element from adidas. The contrasting white stripes on the side aggressively highlight the black upper coloration. The heel tab is constructed from black leather which unites with the design to form an elegant unified appearance.

The Crepe Sole Twist

The shared collaboration includes ultimately Clarks Originals' defining signature crepe sole. The crepe sole found in Clarks' Wallabee and Desert Boot models delivers breakthrough features to Samba. The sole receives an upgrade through this innovation with a Textured sole that combines strength with optimal comfort.

The coupling of Clarks' trademark crepe sole serves both as a valuable component of functionality and traces the brand's tradition of making premium shoes. A crepe sole functions as Samba's main distinctive feature by unifying casual street styling with refined elegance.


Kith x Clarks x adidas Samba Sneakers: Release Date, Pricing and Availability

A release date for the Kith x Clarks x adidas Samba remains undisclosed while the drop is expected for Spring/Summer 2025. Given their limited production like other brand collaborations, these sneakers should become popular choices for sneaker enthusiasts and collectors.

The Kith x Clars x adidas Samba sneakers will become available at Kith's online platform and store locations and its flagship shops. History shows that Kith transforms its drop releases into cultural events thus the additional campaign during product release should not be a surprise.

The earlier Kith releases with comparable collaborative concepts sold for $200–$250 so this upcoming launch is expected to maintain this price spectrum, however, there has been no official information on the price.


The upcoming joint release between Kith x Clarks x adidas Samba will be among this year's most sought-after sneaker drops. The Samba sneaker meets Clarks' crepe sole while featuring Kith's modern design perspectives to craft a product that links traditional design with a modern outlook.
