Are you really Jamaican if you don't own at least one pair of Clarks?

 

[Mac Brown]

Yo I got a crazy idea how to do Clarks now
Check it out, boom, this is how you freak 'em, boom
You go get you go get the cream joints right? Boom
Now now, all you all you dye, is this shyt right here, boom
And this, you know what I'm saying? Any color you want
But it'd be like, blue and cream, you know what I'm saying?

[CashmereThoughts]

Always thought it was funny that a warm shoe like that was so popular in hot ass Jamaica. Had to originate with Jamaicans in the UK

 

[Sensitive Christian Grey]

Clarks were a school shoe for me

My family is from a different island. I've always appreciated, studied, and respected Black cultures from everywhere. Projects such as this book, where people from the culture are telling the story for themselves, are always on my radar.

Soles on them shyts use to get dirty as fukk

They look good, but damn they can be uncomfortable

Like zero arch support or anything

they will KILL your knees if u are flat footed.....they are terrible to be honest.

Pure style and fashion...timeless...

Dr Scholls is a must though

When people say that Clarks are uncomfortable, what shoe styles are y'all talking about?

Clarks (and Rockports) are some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn.

I've probably had like 25 pairs of Clarks throughout the years. Mostly wallabees. Some of the smoothest, stylish and comfortable shoes you can own.

Speaking of wallabees, Bally's used to have moccasin boots also back in the 70s and 80s. Anybody know where you can cop some of these:

Could see me rocking these in some winter Brooklyn bashment.
