Clarks plans further athleisure launches
British footwear brand Clarks is expanding further into performance walking footwear following strong growth in its Pace and Solevana ranges.
The latest addition, Pace Rise, features Infinity Energy Capsules and dual-layer C360 Foam cushioning, designed to support walking gait cycles through energy return, stability and impact reduction.
It will be joined this spring by Pace Move, which uses similar cushioning technology, and the Solevana range, noted for its comfort and recovery-focused design. Clarks reported that Solevana was its best-selling trainer in 2025, reflecting strong consumer demand for comfort-led footwear.
Chief marketing officer Darren Day said the brand’s strategy focuses on providing broad accessibility and innovation across both direct-to-consumer and wholesale channels. Clarks confirmed it has further performance and athleisure launches planned throughout 2026 as it continues to develop in this growing category.
