What the actual fuck are these abominations all about then?

As a biologist and someone who works with DNA I am also struggling to imagine how anyone would come up with this Desert DNA boot too.

The whole range is nuts.

They must have selected the maddest designers around. Or desperate.

Lweji you're right, they're all nuts! How about the Desert Finger?

"Marc Quinn’s design ‘Urban Nomad’ uses his own fingerprint stamped on the sole of the boot to signify the story of life and its uniqueness to each individual. The fingerprint itself reveals nothing until you get below the surface of the person which is represented by the bright red lining."

WTAF???

Or the DesertMigrate:

Gordon Cheung’s ‘Glitch’ is based on his paintings made from screwed up financial newspapers, spray-painted and flattened onto canvas. This aims to create an optical illusion of a topographical landscape, inviting its wearer to consciously walk to this new man-made world where perceptions of time and space are reconfigured into a state of constant flux.

Someone please tell me this is a joke???

I've got those shoes

If I had money to waste I would LOVE to but those as a gift for someone. Just to see the look on their face.

The little tag with ADAMBALL emblazoned across it really lifts those boots into a new realm of design genius.

Maybe the guy's DNA goes some way to explaining this whole disaster; could it be that he is, in fact, an alien?

Ooh goody, another one that you can personalise with coloured wet socks: DesertFulgur

Amy Stephens' design ‘Nomad’ with its quirky yet subtle cut-out detailing takes inspiration from minimalism and geometry. When worn with coloured socks, the boot is naturally transformed and personalised.

Thank you Clarks for the best laughs I've had in ages. Shame for the charity though.

It is a joke. It has to be a pisstake:
Frank Bowling has reinterpreted the light-filled, expressive colour concepts of his well-known abstract paintings for his design, ‘Bowling Boot’. Throughout his career Bowling has investigated the potential of colours to communicate a visual experience of uniquely sensuous immediacy also true in his ethereal Desert Boot.

I have just e mailed the link to those boots to my DD's. I believe they are the perfect answer to the Scottish summer. I will be ordering a pair forthwith.

I am both terrified and highly amused by those boots!

I spat my coffee out when I found these: www.clarks.co.uk/p/26114084 the whole range is great to brighten up an otherwise dull morning.

Aren't clacks sacking 100's in their head office?

That's hilarious MrsFogi!

Our designers have taken the iconic Clarks Originals Desert Boot profile and combined contemporary cut outs with removable on-trend tassel detailing for a summery look. Made from premium leathers, this striking silhouette features our signature crepe sole and is just right for that fashion forward woman.

Arfarfarf!

Maybe the guy's DNA goes some way to explaining this whole disaster; could it be that he is, in fact, an alien?

Possibly.

Actually, I kind of like the design. I just don't see how it relates to DNA. Or DNA mapping.

Omg. Someone's hacked the clarks website surely.

Maybe it's an April 1st range?

I was just on the sheep hoof page and the pop up window came up saying 'We'd welcome your feedback'. Hahahahahahaha Clarks - I don't think you would.

My mum knew someone who was jailed for shagging sheep.
I imagine he would have worn something similar, so when the farmer looked under the fence it would look like the sheeps four legs were still on the ground.

Sweet Lordy. I live for these threads :o

Astonishingly they don't have my size!!!

OMFG, the Desert Kiltie ones are actually almost worse than the first lot - unbelievably appallingly ugly!!

Aaarggh my eyes. They are ridiculously ugly. Oh dear Clarks, what were you thinking?

Aren't clacks sacking 100's in their head office?
Yes, they are marching down the job centre in their sandals like the roman army as we speak.

Just in case they all sell out Clarks see this thread and decide to pull the range here is the Desert Kiltie also preserved for posterity:

DesertFulgur

I hate my eyes for looking at them! Vile
