NEIGHBORHOOD continues to work in collaboration with Clarks Originals, marking the second time that the duo is joining forces. This time around the two focus their attention on the iconic Desert Trek shoe and the Wallabee shoe by Clarks Originals. Shinsuke Takizawa took the liberty and unveiled a quick look at the dark grey options on Instagram.
Kicking off with the signature Wallabee shoes - it is designed with a blend of waxed canvas and hairy suede for textural contrast. It is then finished with leather trimmings that can be seen on the heel and at the collar lining. The Desert boot is similarly designed with nylon webbing straps running down the toe box and by the heel.
