New York imprint 18 East works in collaboration with Padmore & Barnes on the third footwear together and this time, the duo highlight the OG Wallabee. It takes on an adventurous perspective this time around and is inspired by the German company Sioux and its Gradhoper design.

Taking the P204 by Padmore & Barnes as the base foundation of the shoe, it now gets a lightly utilitarian design update. It is constructed from Italian suede materials throughout the upper and is complete with a weatherproof membrane as the lining in preparation for the colder seasons ahead. It all rests on top of the Vibram lightweight Morflex outsole foundation, which also helps with gripping throughout the winter terrain.
