Irish shoe manufacturer Padmore & Barnes has teamed up with New York City-based fashion label 3sixteen to launch an exclusive version of its classic P404 silhouette -- a design that served as the precursor for Clark's ever-popular Wallabe shoe.
The collaboration sees 3sixteen fully reimagine the Padmore & Barnes shoe, dressing it with a shaggy suede upper suitable for the winter season. In addition. the new model features a handsewn moc toe binding and thick crepe sole to match. According to the company, the one-of-a-kind shoe will be offered in two colorways: sand and black.
There's no denying that the new moccasin-like shoe strikes a notable similarity to the Clark's Wallabe, meaning it could appeal to Clark's fans searching for a stylish alternative. The 3sixteen x Padmore & Barnes P404 will be available to purchase one and in-store starting December 10.
