We all know Clarks has a cult following in Jamaica – everyone from Vybez Kartel to Little John has sung about them in one form or another (there’s even a book about it). But we didn’t know that the appeal of Clarks transcended musical boundaries to the point that mysterious rapper MF Doom would consider collaborating with the brand. But, that’s exactly what’s just happened; the company that used to make your school shoes have released a custom Clarks Original with the MF Doom monogram embossed into the leather. And here’s a beautifully-shot promo by Charlie Robins and Joe Alexander to prove it, following MF Doom on a road trip to the Somerset village of Street, where the very first shoe was born. Baffling and brilliant!
