In celebration of 200 years of craftsmanship, accumulating a rich heritage of layered innovation and experimental timeless dressing, Clarks unveils its SS25 collection by Martine Rose. 

For the office, for the city, for the beach—the campaign displays Clarks’ footwear as the shoes you want to keep on. The collection steps Clarks into a carefree direction, energized with themes of community, youth, and the stirring spirit of summer.

With Martine Rose at the helm as Clarks’ first-ever guest Creative Director, the collection, Coming Up Roses, amalgamates the beloved British brand’s story as a forefront innovator within the greater footwear industry. Exploring the archives of over 22,000 designs since its inceptional Clarks Desert Boot in 1950, the new collection continues tradition with a modern spirit. 

The Spring/Summer capsule revisits Clarks’ icons, redefining the leading styles: The Derby, a traditional men’s with contemporarily raw finishings, the Heel, a squared, stacked leather heel with an asymmetrical topline, and Torview, a recent Clarks addition with elevated shaping that alludes to their original silhouettes.

Each shoe is thoughtful of the essentials—Clarks’ traditional leather, comfortable and wearable styles, and quality craftsmanship—in parallel, integrating less-conventional elements for the new season. Martine Rose’s signature ‘mock croc’ texture, raw edges, and design that exposes the shoe’s internal construction adds fresh appeal to classics.
