WACKO MARIA unveils two new collaborative Wallabees with Clarks Originals. The duo highlights the iconic footwear silhouette for the season complete with animal-themed patterns throughout both iterations. Prepared for the Spring/Summer 2023 season, the first is a snake-embossed leather version of the classic shoes and the second is a crocodile-embossed leather shoe.
Both of the shoes are detailed with a black colorway palette that is contrasted with the stitching materials that accent the heel section and wraps around the foot opening, continuing along both the lateral and media side. Rounding out the shoe are collaborative branding accents that are seen on the interior footbed and the detachable tags done with gold foil for a pop of contrast.
