Kith and adidas Originals continue their partnership with a new denim interpretation of the Samba, introducing the familiar low-profile silhouette as part of Kith’s Fall 2026 assortment. The sneaker gives the familiar silhouette a material-focused update built around denim, canvas and contrasting Three Stripes.
SNEAKERS
Presented in a Denim / White colorway, the Samba starts with premium canvas underlays covered by blue denim panels. The combination gives the upper a layered construction while maintaining the recognizable proportions of the original model. Kith continues the material treatment across the shoe with additional textures that distinguish each side.
The Three Stripes receive an asymmetrical execution. Kith applies pony hair to the lateral side, introducing a raised texture against the canvas and denim upper. On the medial side, chain-stitch embroidery forms the Three Stripes instead. This change gives each side of the sneaker its own finish without altering the Samba’s established profile.
Kith adds its script logo through tonal embroidery near the collar, while co-branded details appear across the tongue, heel tabs and footbeds. Nubuck detailing enters at the heel, adding another material to the upper. Flat laces and a padded collar complete the construction around the foot.
A dark gum rubber outsole anchors the sneaker and keeps one of the Samba’s most recognizable elements intact. Its warm tone sits beneath the cream canvas and blue denim upper, giving the shoe a clear division between its textile-heavy construction and classic sole unit.
The Samba “Denim” arrives alongside Kith’s wider Fall 2026 collection, which places a strong focus on materials, dyeing techniques and surface treatments. The seasonal assortment includes outerwear, shirting, trousers and transitional pieces, along with Kith’s NFL project and a collaboration with Japanese label Needles. Within that lineup, the Samba extends the collection’s material focus into footwear. The Kith for adidas Originals Samba “Denim” is priced at $120 and releases on August 31 through Kith stores, Kith website and the Kith App.
