The Clarks Trigenics Collection Goes Modern with a Hint of Heritage

If you thought Clarks was good only for its classic desert boots, the innovative Clarks Trigenics Collection ought to change your mind — and in short order. Taking the brand’s DNA and penchant for easygoing, easily wearable classics, the Trigenics Collection features touches both new and old, recognizable and unique — and that’s why we’d recommend you pick up a pair as soon as you can.

With design details found more commonly on pieces like the brand’s laidback Clarks Wallabee, the Trigenics Collection introduces a decidedly more modern look and feel to Clarks’ lineup of timeless style. It starts right at the ground level, with the Trigenic Flex outsole. The outsole features three parts geared to move with your foot — they’re flexible, lightweight and practically begging to be paired with light wash jeans or slim khaki chinos.

From the Trigenics Flow  in crisp vegetable-tanned leather — a shoe that mimics a classic ankle boot or high-top — to the dressier Trigen Wing, you’ve got options aplenty if you’re seeking out a summer footwear upgrade. From a hot summer wedding to a crisp-yet-casual day at the office, nearly any pick in the Trigenic Collection should perform admirably.

And with head-turning design details like raised moccasin stitching and colors more commonly found on your favorite sneakers (such as the sharp, white leather Trigenic Flex), you won’t find a similar pair of footwear on the market this season. The brand says the shoes blend a “streamlined finish” and a “futuristic aesthetic,” and they’re entirely right. If you’ve thought about trading in your driving loafers or suede chukka boots — or even your classic white canvas low-tops — for something just a bit different this season, these are the way to go.

With seven different color options available for the Trigenic Flex in particular, you’ve got plenty of ways to go in terms of style, whether you team the white leather pair with faded denim and a slim-fit henley or match up the veg tan leather Trigenic Flex with navy chinos and a grey blazer for a mix of high-low, sporty style.

It’s an unexpected and welcome offering from a brand that’s done the same thing so well for so long — and it looks like the Clarks Trigenics Collection just might be the latest accomplishment to join the brand’s essential line of stylish footwear.

Municipal Store Opening

Mark Wahlberg has been one of Hollywood's most prominent and sought-after actors since he made waves in Boogie Nights. Since then, he has led comedies like Ted and The Other Guys and dramas like Four Brothers and The Departed. But he has been best known for being one of the top action stars in the business. From The Italian Job and Shooter to Lone Survivor and Mile 22, Wahlberg has proven himself to be one of the most capable in the game. A vital part of doing the job of an action star is getting in sensational shape. Now that he is seen as an incredibly fit leading man, he began helping others get in the same shape by launching a fitness brand. The new Municipal Flagship Store has a new home in San Diego and is bringing action star fitness to America's Finest City.
Bet on yourself

When Mark Wahlberg founded the brand in 2019 alongside Harry Arnett and Stephen Levinson, they brought fitness to the people of West Hollywood and globally online. The goal of Municipal has always been to offer the best clothing and shoes to people trying to be unstoppable all day long. The second store opening in Oceanside is bringing that goal to the southern part of the state along the beach. The store isn't just about clothing, shoes, and accessories. The new store will also feature a coffee shop for a post-workout pick-me-up, a haircut to ensure you look just as good above the neck as below, and a lounge to center yourself before and after the workout. With two stores under their belt, it is only a matter of time before they expand over more of the country.

Flag & Anthem outfits country legend with Desert Son

There is a deep connection between country music lovers and other staples, like a good flannel, hats, tees, and the flag and national anthem. So when a country music star teams up with Flag & Anthem, it gets noticed. But most of the time, these collaborations are one-offs that fade out in a few months or a season. But the Flag & Anthem Desert Son collection with Dierks Bentley is still going strong six years later.

“Dierks’ lifestyle perfectly embodies our brand,” said Flag & Anthem co-founder Brad Gartman. “There is a strong synergy between his fans and our customers. We see Dierks and Desert Son as a natural integration with Flag & Anthem and look forward to a long partnership.” And a long partnership is what they got.
