Clarks Original has introduced its Tor Run model, which takes design cues from the 1970s, and marries them with an ergonomic build that makes it perfect for everyday wear.
The sneakers are offered in a range of muted colorways that champion light pastel hues alongside shades of off-white and beige for contrast. All of the styles are completed with a retro rubber outsole, and Clarks Original's branding, which appears on the tongues and on the suede tags that come looped through the laces. The company also utilizes renewable resources for the model, with the rubber crepe sole made using more sustainable natural materials.
The sneakers are set to release on February 24th, and retail for $170.
