Some shoe history 🙌🏾🔥

Great video but you can’t mention Clark’s without mentioning this song The show went from UK to JA but the song did the opposite and you often hear this in UK clubs, especially in cities.

I'm a little disappointed he didn't reference the Jamaicam hit song Clarks by Vybz Cartel ft.Popcaan & Gaza Slim

Black Peoples SAVED another Corporation 😩😩🤣

The fact that in Africa their old name is the most popular one “Grashoppers”

Why does every shoe brand need Black people to make it cool?

No actually, these shoes are South African in origin:

Blue & Cream

When it came to South Africa it was called Grasshoppers . Famous school shoe for boys .

Any minute now Americans will say they discovered it.

They use anything to validate violence against black people

Grasshoppers used to worn by smoking gang back in high school and I was one of them

These are called Grasshoppers in SA 🇿🇦, used to wear them in highschool lol

The higher cut Wallo’s my preference….but keep me a fresh all black and some maple suedes on deck.

@GhostfaceKillah has entered the chat.

Jamaica is a boss at creating & or propelling global brands

Jamaica has helped build the Clarks Shoes brand, yet I, along with many other Jamaicans, am unable to make purchases on the website from Jamaica. @clarksshoes, what’s going on? Why do I have to transfer my money to a relative in the US just to process my transaction?

Wearing this to school was a flex

Do not wear the suede joints in the winter. Your feet will freeze

Amazing! I would say Slick Rick from the UK of Jamaican decent made it popular in NYC during the early 80’s. Ghostface along with Rae continued the trend into the 90s. Love the Rude Boy salute to Jamaicans. Trendsetters frfr!

In Africa grasshoppers dominated, till today they still do

So Jamaicans didn’t make Clark’s😳

The magnitude of Jamaica’s influence on the world and pop culture still beats my mind. It’s a tiny island with a very tiny population, not more than 3 million people live there

You should see us rocking them in an all boys secondary school in Ghana. 😂

I have so many pairs of Clarks it’s embarrassing

Wallabees or as my daddy would call them, “hushpuppies”

He wanted crush bone leather with the strings dark Now I remember, he from Bear Mountain He and Mitch Greene shot the fair one near the water fountain

I’ll always miss the pink pair I had back in high school. There was an era in Ghana were it was the preferred shoe used for dancing and every great high school dancer had a pair or two. 😅😎

I have 3 dessert boots of Clarke's. Black, sand & brown. Really want pair first he was holding more of kinda loather. While $200-$300 absolute beautiful boots and just classy. Only regret is wearing Sand coloured to a nightclub. So thrashed. Only wear dates, bars etc. Beautiful shoes, great brand and look. He lil pricey but worth it with material and how good they look.

Ok but I first saw Krs One rocking them in the 80s and that’s when i copped my first pair of Clarks with summer job money. Long before Ghost made em hot

@xg85_ I still wear them to this day
