Clarks x Bisous Skateboard Cleyhill Fire Black Shoes

The Iconic Cleyhill Catches Fire with Bisous Skateboard

When historic British craftsmanship meets French skate irreverence, it results in a collab that leaves a mark. Clarks Originals teams up with the Montpellier-based label Bisous Skateboard to blow up the classic boat shoe silhouette. Inspired by the 70s Fastnet model, this Cleyhill Fire is anything but tame. It’s a declaration of independence, a hybrid piece designed for those who ride trends as well as they ride the pavement, fusing vintage elegance with the raw energy of street culture.

Visually, it’s a heavy hitter. The premium textured black leather upper serves as the backdrop for a bold, gradient flame pattern, transitioning from hot pink to electric blue (Pink/Blue Fire). This striking graphic detail violently contrasts with the dark upper, offering a sharp, instantly recognizable look. The finishes are flawless: traditional boat-style lacing, sturdy exposed stitching, and the "Bisous" branding print in pink on the heel. The pink and blue leather fobs seal this high-end limited edition.

Beyond the visual flex, this pair is built for everyday city comfort. Forget the thin sole of traditional boat shoes; the Cleyhill sits on a massive, lugged black XTRALITE outsole. Ultra-lightweight despite its chunky appearance, it absorbs concrete impacts with ease. Inside, the molded Contour Cushion insole perfectly supports the arch, ensuring premium comfort from morning until late night.

This statement pair demands bottoms with character. Break the "dress shoe" vibe by pairing them with heavily faded baggy jeans or wide straight-cut chinos for a mastered skate silhouette.
