Who hasn't seen a Clarks derby? Over the past twelve months, the British brand has made a strong comeback by partnering with exclusive collaborators. After C.P. Company, Vandy the Pink, Bodega and Union Los Angeles, Clarks Originals is about to unveil a new collaboration on its timeless silhouette: the Wallabee. This time, the British brand is teaming up with Paperboy, the trendiest sandwich shop in the French capital, to revisit its iconic silhouette.
Founded in 2015 in the heart of Paris' bustling Le Marais district, the restaurant quickly established itself as the go-to reference in the world of fashion and streetwear culture. Inspired by the eclectic spirit of the French capital, the shop is once again expanding its presence within the sneaker sphere by continuing the beginnings of its Papergirl branch, the feminine version of Paperboy. After the boys, the girls. With the support of Beams, the Parisian restaurant returned in January by partnering with the Japanese brand Asics. Through the GT-2160 model, the three partners inaugurated the launch of the Parisian cafe's second line.
Now it's Clarks' turn to take over. By combining its classic heritage with Paperboy's contemporary and urban aesthetic, the two labels offer a fresh perspective on the Wallabee, transforming the timeless icon. An opportunity to discover the Clarks Originals Wallabee x Papergirl.
When Parisian essence meets Clarks heritage
Clarks and Paperboy Paris are offering a new exclusive version of the Wallabee model. While a first drop only offered 50 pairs, the two labels decided to renew their collaboration, making it available to a wider female audience. The sandwich shop thus reinvents the Wallabee's iconic silhouette with a feminine touch heavily inspired by the first model.
On the menu: suede, crepe, Papergirl-branded clasps, pale pink laces and additional polka-dot laces designed to match the insoles. In short, a design built on a Vibram sole, marking a new step in the Wallabee's evolution as the brand demonstrates its ability to adapt to current trends while preserving its iconic character.
The Clarks Wallabee x Papergirl will be available from Thursday, April 25 in Clarks stores and online, as well as at a selection of retail locations in the United Kingdom, Europe, China and Japan. The price is set at €180.
