HANON x CLARKS ORIGINALS

Våra favvoskottar har teamat upp med klassiska skotilverkaren Clarks.

Hanon firar som flera av er redan vet 20 år i år. Brian Toft startade sin butik, då under namnet Streethreads, i Aberdeen för just, 20 år sedan. Med åren så har vi på Sneakersnstuff blivit goda vänner med Brian och hans broder Edward.

Det är anledningen till att vi nu tar in dessa specialversioner tillverkade av Clarks, ett märke som vi normalt inte saluför(det närmaste vi kommit är att vi har sålt New Balance-skor tillverkade i Flimby av före detta Clarks-anställda skomakare).

Ed och Brian säger såhär om deras samarbete med Clarks:

"Clarks Ashcott first launched in the autumn of 1976 and was originally made in Ireland.
To the spotters, it will be recognisable as a style manufactured, until recently by Padmore and Barnes of Kilkenny. Much of the back catalogue Clarks were produced by Padmore including their own version of the Ashcott, a favourite of ours which we carried in store up until the company ceased production around 2003.
The Ashcott, named after a small town in Somerset England is a timeless style with a minimal single piece upper, lace overlays and crepe outsole.
We have collaborated with Clarks on two special editions of the Ashcott, a tech tuff leather version and a perforated suede. Each model has a premium upper and nods in the direction of performance. Tech Tuff is a laminated woven material that is extremely durable and resistant to abrasion whilst the perforation on the suede offers breathability in its most simple form.
Both models come with three sets of laces, two tonal styles and a brightly coloured option to mirror the collar detail and footbed.
Lastly the leather hang tag and footbed flame 'Keeps On Burning' logo detail celebrates our 20th anniversary and is inspired by the imagery and slogans of Northern Soul, an underground musical following born out of the north of England in the late sixties."
