Clarks × HAVEN
WEAVER GTX

Even though it was 20 years ago, I distinctly remember writing in my graduation book, "I want to live abroad".
I knew very little about the world and the idea of living overseas felt almost impossible, but I was in awe of the foreign atmosphere that permeated MLB games featuring players like Ichiro Suzuki and Hideki Matsui.

Fast forward ten years, I chose to move to Canada, home of the select shop HAVEN.
It's recently released a special edition WEAVER GTX in collaboration with CLARKS. The upper part features durable, premium suede from the long-established British company CHARLES F. STEAD, and it incorporates GORE-TEX, which I feel is a must for recent CLARKS users.
By combining high quality and traditional style with excellent technical elements, it achieves a hybrid finish.
The familiar CLARKS crepe sole is complemented by a 'Vibram' outsole, adding a unique touch not found in the inline items. It seems to strike a chord with discerning fashion enthusiasts.

I lived in Toronto where HAVEN has its store, and as you might imagine, winters could be extremely cold, dropping to minus 30℃.
Summers, while more comfortable than Tokyo, surprisingly exceeded 30 degrees (shorts were a must).
In this extreme climate, the concept of seamlessly blending functionality into everyday clothing to deliver comfort, style, and performance resonated strongly.
HAVEN's products align perfectly with the desire to enjoy fashion whatever the climate, and their expertise in this can be felt and appreciated from here.
