Ronnie Fieg, Kith and Clarks Debut Two New Sandal Silhouettes for Summer

As part of Kith’s summer collection, Ronnie Fieg has introduced two new sandal styles through his Clarks 8th Street line.

The Ridgevale and Brixham, both brand-new silhouettes, are out now with four colorways a piece. Both feature a significant amount of coverage on their premium upper to go along with Clarks’ signature gum soles. Topstitching holds the panels together, while laces appear to be more style choice rather than highly functional. Both also feature a canvas insole and come with co-branded fobs.

The Brixam essentially looks like a low-top Wallabee with holes cut out of its suede and nubuck and its lacing system reduced. It comes in all-black and tonal “Maple” colorways, with additional “Blue Flower” and “Khaki” editions adding a white heel and vamp for a two-tone look.

A suede fisherman sandal with a braided look above the toe, the Ridgevale also comes in all-black, a colorway joined by “Maple” and “Green” uppers with gum soles. A fourth “Light Pink” variant then features similar color-blocking to the Brixham duo.

Fieg’s two new Clarks models follow a hit Kith x Birkenstock collaboration last fall that transformed the London sandal with braids circling the entire suede upper. Kith also revived its three-way series with Clarks and Adidas in April to launch a crepe-soled AS350 as a successor to their Sambas.

The Clarks 8th Street by Ronnie Fieg Brixham and Ridgevale sandals are out now exclusively through Kith’s website, app and stores. Pricing for both models and all eight colorways are set at $200. Kith recommends that you go a half-size down from what you’d normally wear.
