The British footwear brand continues strong this year and takes the [iconic Wallabee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunbleached-wallabee) into new angles. The colorways include the options of black nubuck, blue, or maple.

It retains the [classic moccasin structure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suede-delave-wedge-ankle-boot) as the base foundation of the shoe and the hang tag. The crepe sole boasts new updates and have a heavy crepe wrap around it for a dramatic touch. It also has webbed detailing that surrounds the heel area for a distinct look. All of the tonal options are complete with the small set of laces in its respective tones with slight contrast at the hang tags.
