Grabbed both the white and green pairs and so happy to have them in hand and on feet. So comfy and yet different than everything else. Def top 3 sneaker of year!
Agree on everything you said - these are awesome. I went with the Cream/Green colorway. Fit great true to size, look great with whatever. Good call on the white lace swap in these, the contrast looks great. Nice review!
I got the white pair and it surpassed all my expectations. By far the best sneaker of the year for me! I on the other hand regret not getting the green pair (as my second pair) 🙄
I love mine! I got the brown one because it’s the one that least looks like a Samba. But like you, I regret not getting at least one other colorway. These are not just comfy for a Samba, they’re comfy, period! 😍 and even with my wide feet, I fit in these true to size. I was so relieved when I tried them on and they fit perfectly. These are hands-down sneaker of the year for me, especially since for me, sneaker of the year has to be reasonably accessible.
@@JoshDominici used US 8 Samba RM for 5 years and still feeling to tight. I used Yeezy US 9 and feeling more comfortable, same also with my Stan smith at US 8.5 also comfortable. Should i use US 8.5 for this Samba Clarks RF?
I feel like sambas are cool because they are affordable. For the cost of this shoe you could buy 4 pairs of normal black sambas with the gum bottom. The premium is just too high for me. It's a dope shoe though. I actually just bought some penny loafers with the same sole.
Can you give me a sizing comparison to NB 990v3 or NB 990v4 for example? I am a US 9.5 in those. Never tried a Samba but i am a 9.5 in Stan Smiths. Any thoughts?
This is so worth it and future sneaker for me when i reach the age of 28 going 30 and above: Right now I would enjoy other sneakers that I would be cringe to wear when i got to that certain age.
@@JoshDominic sorry i just seen this, 28 going 30 and hitting 30 are two different things, even tho it’s just 2yrs style maturity preference are very different. As of now i can rock even lightning mcqueen crocs, but we all know for a fact it would be real cringy to most ppl seeing that to a person around 30 or up.
Love my green/white ones! These are crazy quiet and stealthy!!! Only thing is the bottom gets dirty easy. Crazy comfortable, no need to break in, with Clark materials the quality and built, these are absolutely top tier.
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
@@JoshDominic does it feel the same? Wondering if the sides are built to not darken too fast like the bottom. Considering paying resell after your vid 😅
Dude I got my white pair and it exceeded all my expectations. I was doubtful of the 210 retail price but the quality is very premium and they look good with anything, this is what sneaker of the year contenders should be like
My only problem with sambas is how slim they are and with these it looks like my problem is fixed! Too sad prices are high im gonna have to think if ill cop or not but I absolutely love these and love how u styled them.
I don’t fit in Sambas either, so when they opened these for pre-order, I took my chance. Even consulted this man Josh Dominic himself on the probable sizing. Now we can all only wish they open these for pre-order again!
No it’s not because of kith branding it’s because the shoe is made using high quality materials and has a completely different production process than other sneakers

great video, that fit at the end was absolute fire, that's what i would wear with these bad boys
awesome collaboration, I love all 3 colorways! white laces fosho!!!
Need all 3
Received my pair yesterday in Rome. Astonishing! I confirm they run TTS. Enjoy your pair ;)
Pre orders are the way to go and no one can tell me otherwise. And this video just proved that

Yes it’s my SOTY right now
And the best part for me is: in spite of all that paper, as soon as you take off the lid, you can already smell it and you know it’s good. 😍
yea it smells great
Just got the black and white. Really regretting not going for the tri color this morning.

good point about SOTY being reasonably accessible

For me the best CW of the three... not regreting not to buy because I'm not a samba lover

you are not supposed to get dull and boring once you hit 30 , wear whatever you want whenever you want

are the sole/platforms taller than normal sambas? how much height are these going to give me lol
I have got green ones but don't know how to clean them 😞.
Can’t believe I missed out on these 🤦🏾♂️

Looks the same, but it does get super dirty after 1 wear

Yes absolutely I had the same reaction
I’ve got some weird feet i wear 9.5 on normal sabas and the same on aj1 but at dunks i wear a 9 what size should i grab???
thats some pretty weird sizing I have to say. I guess go with your normal samba size
My only problem with sambas is how slim they are and with these it looks like my problem is fixed! Too sad prices are high im gonna have to think if ill cop or not but I absolutely love these and love how u styled them.
Yes these are not as slim as regular sambas

This silhouette is WOW. Really wanna cop one but the price makes me poor instantly 😭
Are the sizes on Kith EU , UK or USA?
Thank you
they are US Sizing
@@JoshDominic thank you!
these have the same vibe as the puma suede crepe
I almost copped these on Goat for a good price, slept and now they're triple that price :-(
Glad you got a paid. Def contender for shoe of the year.
ye these will make some end of year lists for sure
Missed out on this bad😢
Kithmas pair is even better - hopefully i can get it. Hopefully they put in a preorder.
Clarks wallabees come with just as much oaoer so ut definitely makes sense
still waiting on mine in the mail
hope it comes soon
Don’t know if it’s up there with the SB 4s but these ain’t far. Got me the white pair and they are just like nothing else out there.
I regret not copping these....
Very nice shoes
Indeed

Love these !!
just seen this on the tonight show…
Yea such a coincidence that JLP showcased these as one of the sneakers of the year
I was surprised this was on his radar tbh. I didn’t feel like these had that much hype.
@@flimgencoit’s because he’s friends with Ronnie. He always supports Kith stuff.
I grabbed the white and the brown pair. now my regret is not grabbing all 3 😂
You were allowed to preorder 2 pairs only anyway
ahh true
When a gray hoodie and blue jeans are “a fit”😂😂😂
it absolutely is
I had no idea these were up for preorder 💀 i wanted them for a while but i didnt wanna dish out a grand for em on stockx
it went on preorder back in March
Only thing that’s is making me
Not pull the trigger is how dirty crepe soles get. I wear my sneakers so I knew they would get dirty fast
Yea I can confirm they get super dirty after 1 wear
Still don’t see the hype
These are wack, you can get Stan Smith crepe for half price
Stan Smith creps look wack and are also not made of suede
Kith branding only adds $100 to this overhyped shoe. If this was a Adidas/Clarks collab, it would be $150 max. So overhyped
No it’s not because of kith branding it’s because the shoe is made using high quality materials and has a completely different production process than other sneakers
They look ok but way too overpriced for what they are!
For the quality, I think they might even be underpriced tbh
Totally not worth it 😂
definitely worth it
Still waiting for my pair here in US🥲
Hopefully you get it soon
