BSTN’s earliest connection to the Wallabee by Clarks Originals is the role that the iconic silhouette played within the culture (and on the feet of those who shaped that culture) that many at the brand grew up in. It’s a relationship that long preceded the foundation of our first store and that is still cherished to this day.
FROM THE SOUTH, FROM THE HEART!
A common thread between Clarks Originals and BSTN, two southerners who managed to put their respective hometowns on the map, the quality of the product and the authenticity of its story-telling have always come first. In the fast-paced society and (social) media landscape of today, it’s easy to lose track of who came before you which is why the collaboratively created Wallabee Low pays homage to those who paved the way.
The collaboration between BSTN and Clarks Originals champions the commonalities between our two labels and pays homage to the silhouette, its strong ties to Caribbean culture, and those essential in turning it into a style icon – a design explicitly created for the people who helped make it an all-time classic.
Built on a fan-favorite color combination, the collaborative pair is set apart by elaborate details including a triple diamond shape on the shoes’ vamp, co-branded sockliners, and an additional woven label.
A PLATE FOR A PLATE
Furthermore, the pairs purchased at our London flagship store in Brixton feature a special metal plate in addition to the characteristic logo fobs that can be found on every Wallabee. From one Brixton neighbour to another – and as a delicious treat for any customer – the custom metal plate can be exchanged for a plate of a signature dish at Fish, Wings & Tings, the extraordinary Caribbean restaurant just a short walk from the BSTN flagship store on Brixton Road in the south of London.
Just like Brixton, BSTN and Clarks Originals not only take pride in what they do but also in the passion that they do it with.
The BSTN x Clarks Originals Wallabee Low releases on Saturday, October 19th exclusively at BSTN flagship stores in London, Munich, and Hamburg as well as online at BSTN.com. Pick up your pair via the button below!
