Needles and Clarks have revealed a revamped version of the iconic Wallabee shape from Clarks, their well-known shoe brand. This joint project retains the distinctive design with added elements reflecting the distinct aesthetic of the Japanese label.
Choosing a muted monochrome black color scheme, the Wallabee model by NEEDLES offers versatility in styling – it can be elegantly dressed up for formal events or casually worn for relaxed outings. The black suede material lends an air of sophistication to the design, while the embossed butterflies – a signature NEEDLES icon – add a touch of playfulness. To give the shoes a modern twist, NEEDLES incorporates a monk strap made of suede and adorns it with their distorted peace symbol, serving both as an aesthetic detail and a functional buckle. Furthermore, the brand replaces Clarks’ traditional flat natural rubber sole with a robust lugged sole for improved traction.
Clarks is consistently introducing fresh versions of its iconic model, such as the latest collaboration with Bodega, which reinvented the shoe by incorporating a patchwork upper made from aged leather, houndstooth wool, and canvas. This is an exciting period for the shoe manufacturer to experiment with modern interpretations of their traditionally formal designs, since fusion footwear is becoming increasingly popular. Innovative shoes like New Balance’s viral 1906L loafer are paving the way for a new style that seamlessly blends technical and formal design features unlike ever before.
The NEEDLES x Clarks Wallabee is set for release on April 1 via Extra Butter and select retailers.
