Clarks Originals’ signature ‘Wallabee’ silhouette has been reworked with suede and leather accents, resulting in a moccasin-style shoe. Clarks is consistently releasing new iterations of its widely successful ‘Wallabee’ silhouette with a fresh ‘Pale Green’ shade arriving after footwear collaborations with NEIGHBORHOOD, Todd Snyder, Levi's, and BEAMS.
The 'Wallabee' soles are FSC certified, indicating that the shoe was made ethically with resources from forests which helps the environment, society, and economy. The pastel green shoe has nubuck uppers with a Clarks Originals triangle tag affixed. The laces have also been altered, as evidenced by the hiking-inspired cord laces woven through the eye stays.
The new ‘Wallabee Pale Green’ is available for approximately $150 USD on the official Clarks Originals website and select stores.
