Clarks teamed up with Sporty & Rich for a limited-edition Wallabee capsule. Launched in 2015 by Emily Oberg as a mood board cum magazine, the vintage inspired label uses refined materials, finishes and proportions to elevate everyday wardrobe staples. Oberg carefully considered every aspect of the design and production when reimagining Clarks iconic chukka. The clean lines of the moccasin-style construction are enhanced with buttery soft pebble grain leather from Germany’s Heinen Tannery. A 130 year old firm focused on energy-efficiency, Heinen offsets CO2 emissions by supporting a tree planting scheme in Uganda’s Kikonda Forest – combating forest depletion and reducing its carbon footprint. Continuing the focus on sustainability, each shoe is set on a ‘Forest Stewardship Council certified Natural’ rubber-crepe sole and finished with dual leather tags embossed with the Clarks and Sporty & Rich logos in gold. A box made of 90% recycled paper and printed with water-based inks is the final touch.
