Four months after its launch, the Clarks Original sub-label led by Ronnie Fieg : 8th St. (article available HERE) is coming back strong for the Fall/Winter 2021 season. The talented Queens-based designer unveils the new shoes he imagined alongside the presentation of the KITH Fall 1 collection.
These silhouettes feature a design and color palette that matches the pieces in the KITH Fall 1 collection, including the eye-catching collab with Kangol. They are dressed in the New York brand’s signature pastel hues such as sky blue, powder pink, pearl grey, washed black, bluish grey, honey brown and sandy beige.
The 8th St. season 2 collection includes 2 new silhouettes : the Breacon and the Radlet. The Sandford will also be available in new colorways.
Ronnie Fieg, the creative director of this line, married his beloved design inspirations with Clarks Originals’ premium craftsmanship and quality. He wanted to keep the DNA of the legendary British brand, which has excelled in the art of shoe making since 1825, while adding his personal touch rooted in sneaker culture.
Presented in a powder pink colorway, the Breacon is the silhouette that looks more like a performance sneaker. It consists of a leather base complemented by a tonal neoprene sockliner. The look is accentuated by the presence of tongue and heel pulls, as well as a toe box featuring perforations. The whole is based on the iconic crepe sole.
The Radlet appears as a new version of the iconic Chelsea boot. It features a sleek and elegant design with a premium suede construction. Wide elastic bands on each side of the ankle and front and back pull tabs complete the look while increasing comfort. Ronnie Fieg created a boot that feels like a sneaker on your feet. It’s offered in classy and timeless colorways, beige or grey, and has a pleasant crepe sole.
Previously offered in Maple Brown or Black, the Sandford is dressed for the next season in old pink or sky blue. This silhouette takes its name from the first Clarks warehouse in London. A tribute to the starting point of a great history in one of the world’s fashion capitals. Its design is inspired by classic tennis models, while elevating the tone thanks to a realization from high-end materials. It consists of a perforated premium suede upper with matching smooth suede overlays. Just like the other two silhouettes, the whole is based on a genuine Clarks signature crepe sole.
