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.

Enough Tiny Pockets for All Your Candy
Werther's Original Jean tab

We all have seen the commercials of the grandfather giving the grandson Werther's Original and both of them eating the caramel candy with joy. We may have even experienced the same enjoyment. Ever since, millennials have branded the candy as the candy of our fathers and grandfathers. The truth is, we all love the candy, and we're unashamed by it. Now, we can show our love for the fan-favorite caramel by entering a contest to win a pair of one-of-a-kind jeans featuring 30 pockets, each of which is the perfect size to hold one tasty treat. The contest celebrates National Caramel Month (we didn't know it was a thing either). 200 lucky winners can walk around with the sweetest pair of jeans on the street.
Making use of the tiny pocket

“The inspiration for these exclusive jeans came from the age-old question: what are these tiny pockets in jeans used for?” said Kelly Cook, president of Storck, North America. “The answer has always been right in front of us—Werther’s Original caramels. Our caramels are the perfect size and don’t melt, making them the ideal fit for these tiny pockets."
