I'm pretty excited about their arrival, mostly because Clarks has done a great job taking silhouettes that have been co-opted by thirteen year-olds in too skinny jeans and making them siutable and tasteful for grown men. The Redbone and Bloodhound accomplish this well, updating classic vulcanized lace and slip-on styles with suede uppers and sublte distressing. The Newton Highlands does similarly with classic deck wear, bringing sophistication and comfort to a nautical inspired loafer. Ahh, classic looks... for grown-ups.

I'm also excited about the Originals that showed up today - three styles, the Desert Boot, the Weaver Boot, and the Desert Trek - each marking a point in the history of Clarks footwear. The Desert Boot, introduced in 1949, followed by the Wallabee (of which the Weaver owes its heritage) in 1961, and lastly, the Desert Trek, debuting in the early seventies. All three are classic silhouettes that pair well with everything from denim to flat-front khakis and will bring sophistication to wardrobe.
