Supreme Reimagines the Clarks Wallabee Boot in Patent Leather
Supreme‘s latest collaboration with Clarks will see the Wallabee take on a gloss that can’t be missed.
A new Supreme x Clarks Wallabee assortment sees the classic boot reimagined in patent leather. Three colorways will release this week, including a green and red pair that looks like a hard candy. Green forms the vamp and collar, while the rest of the upper appears in a candy apple red. Beneath its Clarks’ signature crepe sole. Additional variants then appear in all-black and tan, the latter of which is a near-match for the crepe sole.
Each pair comes with co-branded fobs, and the logos for both parties features on the insole. Traditional leather lining will maintain the typical feeling on-foot.
Supreme and Clarks have been collaborating since 2011, often bringing radical transformations to the boot that’s long been a staple of both hip-hop and streetwear cultures. Their most recent link-up added Western-style cut-outs to the Wallabee last fall, and previous editions have included Gore-Tex water-proofing, bandana paisley prints and a woven treatment. They also collaborated on the Weaver silhoutte in 2018 and the Wallabee Low a year later.
Outside of Clarks, Supreme’s spring 2024 footwear collaborations have included Nike’s SB Darwin Low and Air Max DN, the latter of which marked the debut for the model, as well as color-changing Dr. Martens Oxfords.
The Supreme x Clarks patent leather Wallabees will release Thursday, May 23, through Supreme’s website and physical stores. Pricing for the boots has not yet been announced.
