Clarks and Adidas Are Introducing a Crepe-Soled Gazelle for Kith’s Annual ‘Kithmas’ Collection
It’s beginning to feel a lot like Kithmas, as Kith is setting the stage for its annual holiday collection.
Ronnie Fieg’s 8th Street by Clarks line will reunite with Adidas by introducing a crepe-sole version of the Gazelle. The three-way collaborators will also bring back their crepe-soled BW Army and AS350 sneakers in new colorways to match the Gazelle.

Each of the three models features a cream suede upper with the Three Stripes motif and mustache taking on a brown snakeskin texture. The rest of the overlays that define each sneaker appear in the same color suede, and a natural crepe sole serves to further unite the trio. A leather heel on the insole denotes all parties involved, as does a custom tongue tag.
The Gazelle is now the fourth model to take on Clarks’ signature crepe sole through the intervention of Fieg. A wildly popular Samba kicked off the collision of brands in 2023, and this year has seen the addition of Adidas’ famous German army trainer, the BW Army, as well as the AS350, a more obscure silhouette introduced in the late ’70s exclusively for the Japanese market.

This year’s edition of Kith’s annual Kithmas collection features a number of other collaborations releasing over the course of December beginning this week. On the footwear front, Kith will debut two brand-new Salomon models, one of which is called the XT-4K and will feature in two colorways. Kith-branded suede and shearling slippers will also drop, although it’s not clear if they were made entirely in-house or are the product of another collab.
The Ronnie Fieg x Clarks x Adidas Gazelle, BW Army and AS350 will release December 23, likely through Kith’s website, app and stores. More information on the launches will come at a later date, and Footwear News will keep you abreast of any updates.
