Continuing this 'free-thinking' design philosophy, Clarks fuses a shoemaker's craft and traditions with advanced technology and innovation to deliver the Trigenic Flex; an icon in the making. The Trigenic Flex is a beautifully crafted and truly original everyday shoe with a design that is deconstructed to create a minimal and fresh look.
The Trigenic Flex takes inspiration from an original 1883 Clarks Hygiene design; stylish shoes that were shaped to the natural contours of the foot, a great contrast to the seriously uncomfortable and deforming fashions of the time. Prad Indrakumar, Senior Designer, Clarks Originals, states:
"We started by looking at the Clarks 'Hygienic' collection of 1883. This was a collection that allowed space for the toes of your foot to move as you walked - revolutionary for its time. We looked at how we could bring this into a modern context."
Advanced knowledge of biomechanics, materials and contemporary construction methods have been brought together to create a design-led shoe that flexes in sync with the natural sequence of motion. An anatomical last shape has been slimmed down and combined with a three-part decoupled sole unit, to support each stage of impact, deconstructed uppers crafted from premium leather panels, cut, angled and interlocked for optimum comfort.
Super-modern styling, a classic moccasin construction, and a pioneering attitude, defines this modern take on the Clarks heritage. Trigenic Flex is a game-changing new style that brings cutting edge shoe engineering, traditional craftsmanship and modern design together to create a totally unique shoe with both substance and style.
