BEAMS Japan and Clarks join forces on the Inside-Out collaboration spotlighting the Desert Boot silhouette for the season. As the namesake suggests, the shoe's design boasts an inside-out aesthetic for a deconstructed and raw appeal.
The boot is constructed from suede materials and is produced in Northern Africa, celebrating a time when British officers wore the silhouette during World War II. The boots ensure durability through desert conditions and provide comfort to be worn over a long period of time. In the 50s, the model was released to the public and this year marks its 70th anniversary. The two contributing brands highlight a crepe sole unit and orange stitching as some tonal contrast to the model.
