Kith Classics and adidas Originals return for spring 2026 with a focused footwear launch driven by a new interpretation of it Army BW. The collaboration introduces the silhouette in four seasonal hues while bringing back the Samba and Japan with updated branding and hardware customizations.
Kith reworks the BW Army with a selection of premium materials including leather, nubuck and suede. Each pair features tonal overlays that define the shoe’s structure while keeping the overall composition in check. The four colorings: Raw desert & cardboard, Tent Green & Aero Green, Wonder Orchid & Magic Mauveand Aurora Coffee & Shadow Brownset the direction for the season through coordinated palettes. White laces appear in all styles, with additional lace options. A leather sole adds a sophisticated interior finish, while co-branding appears on the tongue, insole and heel.
This release marks the first time Kith has introduced their own version of the BW Army. The original model dates back to the 1970s and has a strong presence in footwear history. The updated version maintains the silhouette’s basic structure while introducing subtle branded elements. The design continues without the Tri-Stripes.
Samba and Japan return as part of the Spring 2026 lineup, both featuring Evergreen colors built around Collegiate Green, White and Black. The Samba features a leather upper paired with classic suede T-toe overlays. A perforated toe box updates the construction, while Kith branding appears on the sole and lateral side. adidas branding sits on the tongue, with alternate branding applied to each heel.
Japan follows a similar direction with a full nubuck construction and perforated toe cap. Brand details match those seen on Samba, maintaining consistency across the collection. Japan stands out as the only silhouette designed with round lace, adding a distinctive detail to the range.
The Kith Classics designs for adidas Originals Spring 2026 opened on April 17 via the Kith app in all territories. Select quantities will release through Kith’s Monday Program on April 20th, available in-store, online and via the app in the New York, London, Paris and Tokyo time zones.
