British footwear giant Clarks Originals works in collaboration with Japanese fashion imprint sacai to present their joint Wallabee collection for the Spring/Summer 2023 season. The duo highlights the iconic silhouette for the warmer season ahead and delivers two distinct designs. One of the two is monumental and the other has a sleek design language with a more simplistic look.
The mid-top boots retain their original state and come in a colorway palette of either black constructed from premium leather or tan constructed from suede. It is defined by its waxed laces over the forefoot and then detailed with the iconic co-branded hangtags in a duplicate look. The highlight is the sole unit with a Vibram 'super sole' complete with sliced bottoms and foam-exposed shields.
