Designer Salehe Bembury continues to make waves in the footwear industry as he unveils a look at his Clarks Lugger collaborative model. The shoe was originally released in the 80s and now the rework highlights three textural versions -- it comes in a red colorway, green colorway, and grey.
Additional details include the laces that are slouched onto one side of the silhouette and it all rests on top of a large crepe sole unit. A release date of January 20th has been announced and will be exclusively available to shop on beaspunge. With a look at the shoe, it seems to have the iconic branded hangtag over the forefoot. Each colorway is also marked with a contrasting detail over the toe.
