London-based sneaker company Foot Patrol has teamed up with the iconic Clarks footwear for this collaboration project. Using a Clark-esque model, Foot Patrol adds some features to make this a real stand-out shoe for 2013.
The 'Tawyer FP' is comprised of a woven material upper with medial and lateral patterns that run along the sides and heel of the shoe. The toe box area is comprised of a plush suede. 3M reflected laces and an all white rubber outsole really set this shoe off. In terms of comfort, the FP is equipped with an OrthoLite insole for maximum comfort.
The Tawyer FP Foot Patrol Clarks Shoes collaboration will be available by the end of this month in both a brown and multi-colored patterned color way exclusively off the Foot Patrol website.
