Nothing tickles us like a good collaboration. And it’s when these collaborations have heart that we most want to herald all involved.

Step up, Clarks REBOOTED.
To celebrate 65 years of the desert boot while also doing some serious global good, Clarks have joined forces with landmine charity the HALO Trust and an internationally renowned team of artists and designers to create a series of unique designs.
The artists and designers involved were given an inspirational box and asked to use their style to create a desert boot with a difference.

And the results were some spectacular takes on the usually-tan-and-oh-so-functional footwear icon.

Not only did the artists and designers involved design a limited-edition desert boot, each also created a one-off piece of art inspired by the collaboration.

With an impressive roster of talent involved – including personal faves TOOGOOD – our eye was most caught by this sexy little pairing as submitted by London-based superstar Lee Broom…

To the left, Lee’s Desert Rocker and to the right, the leather footstool one-off that will be auctioned in aid of the HALO Trust‘s landmine clearance endeavours across the globe. Amazing.

Fresh from a turn as faux department store proprietor/triumphant showing at Milan Design Week, Lee’s contribution to this project is yet another reason his star keeps rising.

The shoes are on sale via Clarks USA and UK sites, and all of the art pieces will be sold off in November via Paddle8, with all proceeds going to HALO.

We suggest you get your boots on and your paddles out.
