A.P.C.
x Clarks Originals

A.P.C. teams up with Clarks Originals for an Interaction built around two iconic styles: the Desert Boot™ and the Weaver™, which turns fifty next year.

These shoes have lived before. The Desert Boot™ and the Weaver™ are built to last, their full-grain leather and crepe sole only improving with age. The campaign makes the point without spelling it out: an unmade bed, shoes left wherever they landed, a real bedroom. A.P.C. and Clarks have always understood that things get better with time.

Both styles come in denim-inspired textured suede (camel, navy) and in glossy smooth brown leather. Each pair ships with a removable « A.P.C. » charm made from the same material as the shoe.

The Weaver™, a style celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2027, was born as an evolution of the classic Wallabee, featuring a box stitch and a more streamlined silhouette, becoming an icon in its own right within the Clarks lineup. For this collaboration, A.P.C. keeps the classic construction, premium leather and suede, and signature crepe sole. Two versions: ribbed suede leather (camel, navy) and glossy smooth leather (dark brown), both marked with A.P.C. and Clarks Originals charms and an embossed A.P.C. logo.

Originally designed in the 1940s by Nathan Clark, the Desert Boot™ took inspiration from boots worn by off-duty British Army officers stationed in Egypt during the Second World War. The Desert Boot™ launched at the Chicago Shoe Fair in 1949, becoming an instant hit and going on to be worn by jazz musicians, beatniks, and mods through the 1950s and ’60s. Steve McQueen and Bob Dylan turned it into a cult style. A.P.C. takes on this silhouette, smart and casual at once, in full-grain leather with a crepe sole. Two versions: smooth leather (dark brown) and ribbed split leather (camel), with the same clean construction and charms.
