anybody checking for these? i want both. strong influence from NSW but the minimal branding has me more excited. I like what direction this sneaker is taking footwear...blurring the lines between casual and athletic shoes.Clarks‘ footwear designer Prad Indrakumar’s latest project falls under the Clarks Sportswearumbrella, which reinterprets iconic Clarks Originals silhouettes in an athletic context. A creative rebirth of a concept from the brand’s archive combined with the latest technology and biomechanics, Trigenic harnesses the constructional knowledge Clarks has and applies it to an athletic silhouette. Drawing inspiration from M.C. Escher’s interlocked tessellations, the Trigenic concept sees separated upper pieces interlock and tessellate on a hide of leather. The shoes’ inner bootie sleeve is cut short of the forefoot to allow maximum freedom of movement and minimum bulk over an area which can be subjected to severe flexing, while still providing ample support to the rear two thirds of the foot.
