Ronnie Fieg x Clarks x Adidas Samba "Summit White": Review & On-Feet
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Ronnie Fieg worked with Adidas Originals and Clarks to design and release the 8th Street Samba - a unique twist on this classic Adidas shoe. Sold out quickly, and then offered up again as a pre-order earlier this year, I finally got my hands on the pair I ordered - the "Summit White" colourway. Check out my review of this mashup model and let me know if you think these are one of the best Adidas releases of the year!

I have these and love how comfortable these are. Built and materials are top top tier, probably one of the most comfortable lifestyle shoes I own. The Clark sole is crazy stealthy quiet. You can literally sneak up on anyone cus these shoes make ZERO noise whatsoever. But the bottom does get dirty after 3 wears... This colorway is most definitely the best of the 3. I'm not an Adidas guy for the most part but I'm super glad I was able to get these at retail, and waiting 7 months was ok with me.
The midsole is the difference! It's the best-looking Samba I've seen. I don't like Sambas, but with this mash up, it's an instant hit!
After receiving my pair, these are a slam dunk for SOTY
I agree big player!
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I really hope the pre-order system catches on so that resell dies and people who want the shoe can get it with less hurdles and price sharking.
Great review as usual! that colorway is the best one
Love the concept and design of these. The only obvious major issue with the crepe sole being that it's going to blacken and become kind of nasty. They are comfortable and clean looking at first, but start to look pretty bad after some wear.
I have crepe airmax 1 and maybe it isn't enough crepe tooling on the soles.. but mine look amazing still ages after purchase
My Clarks Desert Boot is all icky and black and sticky after many wears. It doesn't help that i live in a tropical country that's constantly hot and makes the crepe outsole "melt" after awhile
So don't wear your sneakers? Thats literally every shoe, after being worn overtime? Lol.
@@taylorleegangunless you own Clarks you don't get it lol. It's a totally different thing with Clark crepe soles. they get very nasty and there's nothing you can do about it. Not like regular sneakers.
@@kevincollins8620two different kinds of crepe soles. I have the AM1 crepes and they almost seem like they repel dirt. I've worn them for hours and the outsole was barely dirty. The crepe on Clarks is much different and it almost seems like it absobs dirt int the sole. It doesn't just stay on the bottom. After being worn enough times the sole begins to turn black and it doesn't really look good. Especially as it creeps up the midsoles. It makes it look like you just finished running in dirt . I love Clarks though. If I could I'd wear nothing but Clarks, Air Max 1s, and Timberland 6 inch boots.
Just got these in yesterday Sean. Been waiting for them and wasn’t disappointed. This is actually my first “Samba”. One of my top 10 sneakers of the year. Great review as always 👏👏👏
🙌🙌🙌
Pre-ordered the shadow greens and they came in last week and I love them. You're spot on with the comfort, these are the rare shoe I was able to throw on foot feel like I could spend all day in them without any issues. My only regret is that I didn't also pre-order these summit whites, they are niiiice. Easy top 10 shoe of the year, maybe even top 5.
These gotta be within the top 10 this year, cant wait to get mine 🔥🔥
What a shoe! Exactly what you’d expect from those 3 collaborators. Adidas always higher quality than Nike.
Got mine.....Definitely in my personal top 5 for 2023. These were a must!!!
God damnit, I can’t believe I passed on these and now have to suffer through all the videos of you and other people getting them. They look amazing 😢
They are soo good!!! This colorway sells me on them. Pissed I didn't jump on them. The packaging is fire too!!!
The shoe I never knew I needed for my collection. Premium materials and a beautiful touch on one of the world’s most iconic sneakers. This colorway is hands down my favorite. And of course I missed the preorder and will have to opt for resale. Such is life…🙄😂
Its amazing that they also used CF Stead suede. Thanks for the review Sean, now I don't mind paying resale for these!
No problem! Thanks for watching!
I do hope they open these up for another round. I need another! Too good!
This shoe has the best combination the colour, design and the build quality awesome review sean 👍🏻
Thank you 🙌
These are easily in the Top 10 for the year. I like the black pair better but they’re all amazing
Another great review wish I preordered the green and Savannah as well but I only got these
Got my Savannah pair back at the beginning of the year. Definitely SOTY for me, and technically my first Samba as well, despite having two silhouettes very similar to a Samba.
Only complaint is the darkness on the bottom of the outsole, but its an outsole, they get dirty. I don' think it detracts all too much from the overall look. Super comfy, high quality and so far fairly durable.
I find it hard to dislike any shoe that Ronnie Fieg touches. The quality, the story telling and release are always a grand slam. Im not mad at these although I wouldn’t wear em personally I agree w you, this colorway is easily the best imo. Can’t wait to see what else he has in store w the brand
I pre-ordered these exact color for my BD. Still waiting for my delivery. They will be the first Samba I own and I’m not gonna sell them.
Man..... you're usually my sizing twin and I passed on the pre-order because sambas fit inconsistently for me. Mad I passed. I love Clarks and sambas so these are perfect
Top 5 of the year for me.
Just got my pair yesterday and they're clean.......now I wish I would have gotten the traditional brown pair as well. I may hit secondary market
🔥🔥🔥. after ur review, i’m regretting not preordering this pair 😅 😭 😭
damn lol
SAME!!! I've seen pics... didn't move the meter. This review makes me look for resell.
Just got them . They are fire . Looking much better than normal samba and quite comfortable. However, I took half a size up as with normal samba
Fantastic review Sean.
Thank you kindly
Finally caved. Great review. I definitely regret passing on the pre-order. I love these but what made me skip the pre-order and what gad me hesitant to lay resell is that crepe sole. They get so nasty and you really cant clean them. I bave a ton of Clarks Wallabees and have recently gotten into Sambas but i rearely pay more than $100 for either model. So $220 was a big ask. I might paint the midsole on these though. That helped me get over the hump.
Love this colorway. Can't wait to get mine soon. Did you get a shipping notification or did they just show up? I feel as if I'm going to be the last one to get my pair. Great review as always!
Yes I did get an email that they shipped!
Still waiting on my pre-order
Anyone had any issues with the crepe soles sticking to each other? Had them touching and when I went back to them they were stuck together.
What are the pants dude? Those are fire
How much height do these add in the sole? Is it more than normal samba?
Can anyone say do these fit low to the ground like regular sambas or do they have some lift to them. Much appreciated.
Hey is the bottom of the sole different than the side walls? Wondering if they did it that way for resole-ing purposes for when it turns too black or worn down and needs a repair
It looks the same from bottom and side to me
I’m still waiting on my pair. 😢😢😢
What’s about sizing? I’m a legit adidas size 9.5 and gazelle 9.5. Should stay at the same? Narrow foot
yeah
Is the beige suede supposed to have a bit of a green tint to it? I got mine today and it has a slight green tint
I believe so a very slight tint
Really hope these go on sale as ridiculous as it sounds Im still bummed I didn't get the white green spezials the other month saving money being grown
in ur dreams
Does anyone know if this fit tts? I heard it fit big so can go half size down?
tts works for me
These def look nice at first, but the crepe sole gonna be sucking up dirt and grime and you be slipping on wet metal.
I think the black edition looks much better.
Dark green
Rather pay resell & get my item right away.
Instead of paying retail & waiting 6 months.
Very rarely is a pre-order worth it to Me.
Plus most shoes not too spendy nowadays.
The resell market is down right now 4real.
Half my shoes ended up dropping in price.
Even alot of the rare ones did too.
Best time to buy is right now. Before it bounces back.
First 🥇
I swear Sean has every shoe lol
Yup. I found his reviews off the cheesecake saucony my wife Purchased last year. No one else reviewed them. I went back and looked at his old uploads and we bought soo many of the same shoes same time in the era.
Bro…the Gumsoles from Clarks/Ronnie Fieg Collab‘s / 8th Street……is a Nightmare
Looks so Dope….but After a Week😳☹️
yeah not a daily shoe lol 😆
