London-based retailer Goodhood works in collaboration with Clarks Originals on another footwear collaboration as the duo launches a black suede boot for the season. The two deliver a classy iteration of the signature Wallabee boot accented with dramatic fringe detail.
All of this sits on top of a gum sole unit foundation to add a touch of contrast and the upper is accented with glossy black tassels. Additional details include the Sharktooth ankle lining and the suede across the upper adds a stark contrast against the light tonal base foundation. With a closer look at the new shoe, the inner walls are detailed with a sporadic pattern of debossed star emblems for a playful touch.
