Gallagher, who is because of launch his second collaboration with Clarks this 12 months, displays: “My earliest memories of Clarks, is probably when I’ve gone to school… because everyone was wearing them, they were the all the rage back then. I wore Clarks all the way through the ‘90s, got lots of memories… I don’t think there is any other brand for me, really… I find it hard to even look at other brands… Clarks have never let me down.”
