Andrew Rizzo KITH’s first batch of tier-exclusive loyalty program shoe releases is complete with the Clarks x adidas BW Army, available only to those who have reached the “Vitality” level.
In order to cop, you’ll need to have accumulated 10,000 “points” on your KITH loyalty account. That means spending either $5,000 on KITH products or $10,000 on non-KITH items through the boutique. If you don’t have the “Vitality” tier, your best and only recourse is the aftermarket.
The delivery follows three-way collaborations on the adidas Gazelle and AS350 for the brand’s “Molecule” and “Elevation” tiers, respectively. Like both those shoes, the KITH x Clarks x adidas BW Army features Clarks’ iconic crepe outsole and colors inspired by its corresponding loyalty program card; dark forest green this time around.
To the uninformed; the adidas BW Army is an archival “German Army Trainer Shoe” aka “GAT” from the 1970s that features pretty much the exact same upper as the Maison Margiela Replica (although adidas’ version has been around far longer). Aside from some Size?-exclusive colorways and a handful of simple mainline options, the model doesn’t see a whole lot of daylight. KITH brings white nubuck leather and suede overlays to its pair, accompanied of course by co-branded leather tags.
The KITH x Clarks x adidas BW Army will be available on a made-to-order basis on September 20th at 11:00 AM EST via the KITH App. Again, you’ll need to have reached the brand’s “Vitality” loyalty program tier in order to cop.
