The Clarks brand can lay claim to one of the most iconic shoes ever made, the classic Desert Boot. Hollywood icons like Steve McQueen and Daniel Craig have worn them, and they’ll never go out of style. But Clarks isn’t resting on their crepe-soled laurels. They’ve just released their most sustainable shoes that are imbued with the spirit of the Desert Boot, only made more modern. The Origin sneaker has a mere five material components and doesn’t use a lick of glue in its construction. The unlined suede upper comes from a gold medal-rated tannery that keeps water and energy consumption low but still delivers that unmistakeable super-soft, breathable suede. The Origin also uses stitched construction, Ortholite foam for ideal support and cushioning, as well as an EVA outsole, and traditional round laces. Choose between black, white, and taupe, or just get all three so you’re casual-ready all summer long.
