A Heritage Silhouette Reconsidered: Kith and adidas Rework the BW Army

Through a restrained palette and expanded lineup, the collection explores the enduring appeal of military-inspired footwear.

Kith

Kith Classics and adidas Originals have returned once more. This occasion features a contemporary rendition of a classic from the 1970s. In Spring 2026, the two brands collaborated to introduce a new iteration of the BW Army in four tonal colourways. The type first emerged in the 1970s and quickly became a popular footwear choice, characterised by its distinctive Tri-stripes. The silhouette has returned, enhanced with superior materials and seasonal colours.

All four designs include color-blocked overlays, padded leather footbeds, and distinctive co-branding on the tongue, insole, and heels. This release signifies Kith's inaugural offering of its own version of the BW Army, including a new pastel colour palette: Raw Desert & Cardboard, Tent Green & Aero Green, Wonder Orchid & Magic Mauve, and Aurora Coffee & Shadow Brown. Their appeal is enhanced by nubuck, leather, and suede, imparting a more luxurious quality to the products.

Kith

This Spring release has an updated throwback look, alongside the reintroduction of the Samba and Japan models in Evergreen hues, incorporating Collegiate Green, White, and Black colour blocking. The Samba and Japan have a newly perforated toebox and co-branding, with the Japan being the sole model in the range that has a round lace.

The Kith Classics for adidas Originals Spring 2026 Drawings commence now, exclusively on the Kith app across all locations. Specific amounts will be accessible via Kith's Monday Program on April 20, at 11 AM, in-store, online, and on the Kith app in the time zones of NYC, London, Paris, and Tokyo.
