Clarks Originals Teams Up with Liam Gallagher for a Limited-Edition Desert Rain Sneaker to Celebrate 200 Years of Footwear Heritage
Hey Talkers, news for sneakerheads and fans of Liam Gallagher! According to Fashion United, Clarks Originals has just teamed up with the legendary musician for another collaboration, and this time, they’ve reimagined a classic from their archive: the Desert Rain sneaker. If you remember their first collab in 2022, you’ll know it was a huge success, and this new release is definitely going to turn some heads.
Launching on March 20, 2025, the new collaboration marks a special occasion for Clarks—it's part of their 200th anniversary celebration. So, it makes sense they’d bring in someone like Liam Gallagher, a true style icon with a long history of rocking Clarks shoes, to give a modern twist to one of their rare designs. The Desert Rain originally launched in the early 2000s and now it's back with Liam’s personal touch.
The new Desert Rain keeps true to Clarks’ iconic style but adds a few cool details that make it stand out. The shoes feature the classic pebble crepe outsole that Clarks Originals is known for, giving them that solid, timeless feel. The upper is made from jumbo cotton cord and comes in a tonal suede colorway—super sleek and versatile. And of course, Liam's signature silhouette is stamped on the heel, making them instantly recognizable as part of his exclusive collection.
One of the standout features of this sneaker is the double-sided suede fob. On one side, you’ll find Clarks Originals branding, and on the other, Liam Gallagher’s silhouette—just a little nod to his personal connection with the brand. It’s those kinds of details that make this collaboration feel so special and personal.
Liam, who’s been a fan of Clarks since he was a schoolboy and famously wore them in the '90s during Oasis’ heyday, said in a statement, "Clarks is a sophisticated shoe. It’s like a Bentley or an old Rolls-Royce – classic!" He also mentioned how much he loves the Desert Rain design, adding, "When I put these Clarks Desert Rain on today, I feel proper." It’s clear that for Liam, Clarks is more than just a brand—it’s a part of his style DNA.
If you’re interested in getting your hands on these limited-edition sneakers, they’ll be available online, in select stores, and through exclusive stockists starting on March 20. They’re priced at £140, which is pretty reasonable for a collaboration like this. But, here’s the kicker—if you're in London or Manchester, you can snag a pair one day early, on March 19, exclusively at the Clarks Originals stores on Berwick Street and Kings Street. That’s a nice little perk for fans who want to be the first to rock these shoes.
So, what do you think? Will you be picking up a pair of these Desert Rain sneakers? I’m definitely feeling the retro vibes and can’t wait to see how they look on the streets. Let me know if you’re planning on grabbing a pair or if you’ve got any other favorite collaborations like this!
