# Gritty Union Jack Footwear Clarks Originals Desert Boot 'Punk Edition' Receives Makeover By Matt Ho | Published 2012-01-28 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clarks-originals-desert-boot-punk-edition References: [freshnessmag](http://www.freshnessmag.com/2012/01/25/clarks-originals-desert-boot-punk-edition/) & [endclothing](http://www.endclothing.co.uk/latest-products/clarks-originals-desert-boot-punk-edition.html) One of the shoes I highly recommend anyone to keep a look out for is the [Clarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcaan-and-clark) Originals Desert Boot 'Punk Edition,' especially for music fans. The design of the Clarks Originals Desert Boot 'Punk Edition' revolves around the British [punk music scene](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foam-clogs-1) that started in the 60s and took off in the 70s. These were made in homage to that time and it's clear that the inspiration shines. The upper has a gritty [Union Jack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/union-black), which is a cool addition as a tribute to the raw, hard-edged style of punk rock. Around the laces is a tag with an emblem that shows off two guitars and the British flag. It's a small detail, but it ties everything together nicely. Other details include a canvas construction and a leather-lined interior for comfort. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Punk-inspired Footwear:** There is an opportunity for footwear brands to create punk-inspired lines that pay tribute to the raw aesthetic of the punk music scene. - **Union Jack Design:** Brands can incorporate the British flag into their designs to appeal to consumers nostalgic for the 60s and 70s punk scene. - **Music-inspired Fashion:** Fashion brands can create lines inspired by different music genres to attract consumers looking for unique and edgy styles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear:** The footwear industry can capitalize on the popularity of punk-inspired designs to attract consumers looking for edgy and unique footwear options. - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can incorporate music-inspired designs into their collections to appeal to consumers looking for unique and edgy styles. - **Music Merchandise:** Music merchandise companies can create products inspired by different music genres to attract consumers looking for unique and edgy products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Singer-Inspired Vibrant Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcaan-and-clark.md) - [Reimagined Classic Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandro-x-clarks-originals.md) - [Beige-Toned Resin-Coated Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-desert-trek.md) - [Japanese Streetwear-Inspired Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harajuku-pack.md) - [London-Based Designer Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clarks-originals-x-nicholas-daley.md) - [Rich-Landscape-Inspired Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clarks-somerset-pack.md) - [Collaborative Suede Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clarks-wallabee-boot.md) - [Generationally Fused Footwear Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tokyo-senior-generation.md) - [Reimagined Suede Classic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invincible-x-clarks.md)
