Clarks has teamed up with National Geographic to make an epic kids collection of cool shoes – inspired by some of the most amazing species on the planet.

The Clarks x National Geographic range captures the dazzling colours and striking patterns of some of the world’s most eye-catching animals photographed by Joel Sartore for the National Geographic Photo Ark*!

The five vibrant canvas patterns are available in three different styles for all ages – and the upper printed canvas is made from 100% recycled plastic bottles. Wow!

The competition

In our May issue of National Geographic Kids, we ran a competition for one lucky winner to win a family sleepover at ZSL London Zoo, plus a pair of Clarks x National Geographic Shoes in any of the five fantastic animal prints.

The winner

Michael Savage, age 8 – “I was thinking of patterns in nature and I first thought of the pattern on a turtle’s shell.  This made me think of hexagons and then I had the idea of a beehive.”

The runners up

Five lucky runners up also won a pair of Clarks x National Geographic shoes. Check out their fantastic designs below…
