Clarks reinvents the Wallabee for autumn/winter

With the Wallabee being Clarks’ key and most recognisable brand, no surprises it’s back with another redesign for autumn/winter.

Chosen from an archive silhouette first launched in 1986, it’s given a modern update “focused on lightweight comfort”, hence its name Wallabee Lite. 

It features a newly-engineered, high-density EVA sole, removable foam footbed and premium suede uppers, while retaining the brand’s famous look.

Made from premium soft suede uppers, Wallabee Lite comes with two lace options, tonal flat laces and round tonal-and-white flecked laces.

Signature heat-embossed Clarks Originals fobs and heel branding nod to “the icon’s recognisable and authentic design details.”

Available in six seasonal colourways (Maple Suede, Cola Suede, Dusty Pink, Red Suede, Grey Suede and Black Suede), leading the collection are two hero colourways “that capture the spirit of Wallabee Lite.” That’s  the Grey Suede, delivering a “clean, tonal aesthetic with a matching grey EVA sole”, while Dusty Pink Suede “pairs a muted pink upper with a neutral beige sole, bringing a fresh seasonal take to the iconic silhouette.”

The collection launches globally on Friday (24 July), priced priced from £75/€99/$100, and will be available at Clarks stores, Clarks.com and selected wholesale partners including Snipes and JD Sports.
