I know it's simple, but there's something about the subtlety of the Clarks x Concepts Ashcott Collection that's more attractive than extravagant designs.
The Clarks x Concepts Ashcott Collection marks another collaboration between the two brands featuring the Ashcott style. What makes this one in particular special is that it's the latter brand's first time making this style with a canvas upper complete with a beautifully crafted leather insole. The shoes are decked out in one-tone colorways and the Concepts branding on the tongue and heel tab area. According to the brand, the Ashcott's are limited to 300 pairs each for Black and Olive colorways and 200 for the red. So if you're interested, I'd go after them now. The collection will be made available on June 12, 2011.
