UK-based footwear imprint Clarks Originals introduces its latest collaborative project alongside BEAMS as the duo highlights a pair of GORE-TEX Wallabee boots for the season. It is coated with the weatherized material and has a Navy tonal colorway palette throughout the silhouette. It is made from soft suede materials at the base foundation before the waterproof lining that adds more protection.
Additional details include the elastic construction that allows for a laceless design prepared for any weather conditions. The mid-cut shape is complete with the same tonal VIBRAM rubber sole unit foundation. Rounding out the shoes are a zig-zag traction pattern and it comes with trail-centric apparel that is launching to complement the footwear and is set to launch sometime this month.
