Ronnie Fieg and Clarks Introduce Two New Shoe Models as Part of Kith’s Winter Collection
Kith‘s winter 2024 collection is set to include the latest entries from the 8th Street by Ronnie Fieg line for Clarks.
Headlining the latest footwear assortment are two new models, the Sunderland and Sanford 2, the former of which is features elements of a boot and is sneaker inspired by a ’90s Clarks shoe. The shoe’s suede upper features more complex paneling than you’d find on Clarks’ signature Wallabee, as well a short but traditional lacing system and a padded collar. Underfoot sits an EVA midsole and rubber outsole in a configuration more akin to sneakers than the crepe soles Clarks typically employees.
For its debut, the Sunderland will feature in two colorways: grey, as well as brown and green mix commonly referred to as “beef and broccoli.” Both feature a white midsole and bronze-colored metal eyelets. Clarks and Fieg branding is debossed on the tongue and printed on the insole.

The Sanford 2 is the successor to another Clarks model designed by Fieg and named for the British brands first London warehouse. A proper rubber outsole beneath the crepe rubber that appeared on its own previously, while the upper retains its suede and micro pinch suede construction with new colorways in two-tone blue and two-tone green.
Rounding out the collection is the Rushden Boot, which is inspired by a military combat boot and returns in its “Chocolate” colorway from last year alongside a new “Smoke Grey” makeup. The leather upper features shearling lining and sits above a wavy crepe sole.
The Ronnie Fieg x Clarks Sunderland, Sanford 2 and Rushden Boot will release Friday, October 25, through Kith‘s website, app and physical stores. Pricing has not yet been announced, but the Rushden Boot previously retailed for $260 and the original Sanford $220.
