The sneaker boasts a beige exterior, sporting the neutral ‘Off White’ color in suede on the heels, uppers, and side panels. A [camouflage, sand-like print](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leaf-camo) covers the lateral mid-panel, heel, and toe cap sections. Consumers can adjust the tightness of the shoe using a rip tape strap that runs across the top of the foot and secures at the mid-panel. The shoe is finished with a thin midsole and a crepe outsole. The shoe draws many comparisons to the [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-1-sneaker) ‘Sock Dart’ silhouette, which also features a low-cut design and chunky strap across the mid-foot. The Clarks Originals ‘Trek Taiyo’ in ‘Off White Camo’ is now available on the Clarks website for approximately $160 USD.
