adidas and Ronnie Fieg have a storied list of collaborative releases, having worked together for over half a decade and showing no signs of slowing down. The duo has become a top-tier pairing, constantly delivering innovative remakes of classic silhouettes.

To continue their shared journey, Ronnie Fieg has tapped adidas and Clarks Originals to create an all-new joint footwear model. Dubbed the 8th Street Samba, the trio merges their mutual DNA in three Earth-friendly colorways.

The classic adidas Samba is reimagined through a chunky lens, built from Clarks Originals’ signature suede that embraces the uppers. All pairs sport a rugged finish, featuring tonal mudguard overlays and buttery leather on the medial Three Stripes and heel tabs. Combined partnership branding is pressed into the leather tongue tags, jumping onto the liners with a premium feel.

Landing in dark green, tan, and beige/green, the 8th Street Samba is complete with the British shoe maker’s semi-translucent crepe sole that communicates a vintage aesthetic.

Take a closer look at the adidas x Ronnie Fieg x Clarks Originals 8th Street Samba in the gallery above. All three colorways are scheduled to drop on March 24.

Elsewhere, here is everything dropping at Palace this week.
