wow that's really weird...they've also got some brown suede ones. the shape on the leather ones in particular, including the diagonal stitching on the sides of the heel, looks like the o.g. p&b's, but the way they're advertised (and the fact that the brown suedes don't have a leather collar) make them seem like they're newly manufactured? if so, props to Clarks for sorting the shape back out, on these versions anyway.

They're from a new Originals collection named Street (not tapping into the zeitgeist, but named after their Somerset base). Slimmed down profiles, less corny branding.

You see this insole and you're onto good stuff:

They have some of the new collection on display next to some older pairs (metal tag logo, the works) in my local branch and the differences are laughable.

I wrote the guy at oi polloi and he said the ones they're stocking are made in vietnam. again i'm impressed that the details are looking proper on these, although i don't like the suede collar on the suede ones (should be leather).

These are pretty horrible but interesting, some kind of Natalie / Desert Trek situation, sharkskin colour is always a winner though - that little dude that's branded on the back heal, he's some kind of walker and the shoes are British - is he a 'British Walker' ?

looks wrong on every level –*maybe Clarks x Johnnie Walker? looks like he's got the same walking stick

yeah for sure, it's Johnnie Walker not British Walker - I used to think Clarks and British Walkers were the same thing.
