Cozy Retro-Inspired Shoes

Bodega and Clarks Originals Unite for the Wallabee 'Heritage Patchwork'

Bodega recruits Clarks Originals for its newest ‘Heritage Patchwork’ Wallabees, providing consumers with the perfect footwear option for the cold Northeast winters. The shoes come decorated with multiple textures, patterns, and fabrics like tweed, leather, suede, and corduroy. Additional design features include double-stacked hangtags, a “B” logo lace dubrae, and brown, orange, and indigo hits throughout the shoe. Rounding off the shoe is a red insole and crepe soles, which transforms this item into a workwear-lovers dream.

“We tip our deerstalker caps to the textile traditions of the UK while keeping things firmly stateside with boots that merge two identities into one, balancing sartorial and street in the process,” writes Bodega in a press release.

The Bodega x Clarks Originals Wallabee 2.0 launches at the brand’s Boston and L.A. locations on Oct 28, 2022.
