The latest Kith Classics drop reworks archival adidas silhouettes with pastel tones and premium finishes.
Kith and adidas Originals are back together for Spring 2026, unveiling a new collection that blends heritage sportswear with the elevated design language both brands do so well. At the centre of the release is the BW Army, a silhouette rooted in 1970s training culture that has now been reimagined through Kith’s contemporary lens.
This marks the first time Kith has produced its own interpretation of the BW Army, and the result feels considered rather than nostalgic for nostalgia’s sake. Instead of leaning too heavily on retro codes, the brand has refreshed the sneaker with a cleaner silhouette, premium fabrication and a soft seasonal palette that gives the style a lighter, more luxurious feel for spring.
The BW Army arrives in four tonal colourways: Raw Desert and Cardboard, Tent Green and Aero Green, Wonder Orchid and Magic Mauve, and Aurora Coffee and Shadow Brown. Each pair features colour-blocked overlays and a rich material mix that includes nubuck, leather and suede. Cushioned leather footbeds add comfort, while co-branded detailing appears across the tongue, insole and heel, reinforcing the collaborative identity without overpowering the design.
Beyond the BW Army, the collection also revisits two of adidas Originals’ most recognisable models: the Samba and the Japan. Both styles return in evergreen colour combinations of Collegiate Green, White and Black, offering a more classic counterpoint to the softer BW Army shades. The updated Samba and Japan each feature a perforated toe box and collaborative branding, while the Japan stands out as the only silhouette in the lineup with round laces.
Altogether, the collection feels in step with what Kith does best. It takes familiar icons, refines the shape, upgrades the materials and presents them in a way that feels current without losing the appeal of the original. For adidas Originals, it is another reminder of how effectively its archive can be reworked when paired with the right creative partner.
The Kith Classics for adidas Originals Spring 2026 drawings open today exclusively through the Kith app in all regions. Select quantities will also be released via Kith’s Monday Program on 20 April at 11am, available in-store, online and through the Kith app across NYC, London, Paris and Tokyo time zones.
