About the original
The Clarks Originals Wallabee is a moccasin-construction shoe with a two-piece leather upper stitched around a foam-cushioned footbed and set on a natural crepe rubber sole. It was introduced in 1967, designed by Lance Clark as an adaptation of a German Sioux moccasin shoe he'd seen at a Cologne trade fair. Clarks was founded in 1825 in Street, Somerset, England by brothers Cyrus and James Clark and still bases its Originals line there. The Supreme SS24 version uses a crackled patent leather upper and vamp in black, green, or red with a co-branded leather footbed and Supreme-stamped heel pull. The last, crepe sole, and moccasin construction are identical to Clarks' stock Wallabee. Retailed at $178.
About Clarks Originals
Clarks Originals is the heritage line of C. & J. Clark International Ltd., a British shoemaker founded in 1825 by Cyrus and James Clark in Street, Somerset, England. The brand introduced the Desert Boot in 1950 and the Wallabee in 1967, both of which became fixtures across mod, reggae, hip-hop, and streetwear culture. Clarks remains family-owned and continues to manufacture through factories across Europe and Asia. Supreme has collaborated with Clarks Originals on co-branded Wallabee shoes.
