YESEYESEE x Clarks Originals Desert Trek Adds Fob and Panel Updates

— April 19, 2026 — Tech
The YESEYESEE x Clarks Originals collaboration sees the Desert Trek, which reworks the classic silhouette while preserving its relaxed last and everyday fit. The shoe arrives in “Sand Suede” and “Black Suede,” using premium suede across the upper with adjustments made to the side panels. Updated laces are included, maintaining the original structure while introducing subtle changes to the construction and detailing.

The new collaboration marks the first footwear project between YESEYESEE and Clarks Originals, combining the brand’s visual identity with the Desert Trek’s established design. A voluminous pink fob is attached at the lacing system, adding a contrasting accent to the otherwise neutral palette. The silhouette retains its original proportions and build, with modifications focused on material finish, panel design, and accessory detailing.
