Clarks Originals introduces a new iteration of the classic Wallabee footwear silhouette in a colorway design that spotlights multi-color weave details throughout. The British footwear brand intricately details the entire upper with bright abstract shapes.
It is informed with a color palette of navy blue, light blue, yellow, red, orange, green, pink, burgundy, white, and black. This adorns the entire high-top silhouette that is further reinforced with textural detailing throughout the model. To add some tonal and textile contrast, there are some smooth leather panels in white over the moc-toe seaming as well as the classic Wallabee collar. Rounding out the silhouette are the cream tonal laces, the signature crepe midsole base, and brass eyelets.
