Clarks Originals works in collaboration with Pokémon to design a new iconic Pokémon Wallabee silhouette for a nostalgic feel. The beloved Pikachu is in the spotlight as the colorway of the design resembles the character, detailed with yellow over the upper.
At a closer glance, fans can also notice that Pikachu is embossed all throughout the silhouette. The lateral heel is marked with a Pokeball as a bright and playful touch and the forefoot is detailed with a pale yellow lace. It is lined with black detail and sits on top of a black midsole foundation. The second iteration comes in a black suede design with the same embossed detail and the Pokeball emblem on the lateral heel.
