Rob Heppler brings news of a real snake skin Wallabee:
Here is an explosive and first time co-creation with Clarks Footwear, Concepts and Soldier Design. All taking place in the backyards of Boston, Massachusetts. They co-created a surprising Wallabee with authentic python belly skin up the front and python skin from the snakes tail on the heel. It was quite a process to work with the tanneries overseas to achieve harmony between the desired python color gradient and unique cracked-leather outer. Ultimately we think it achieved a classy and exotic ensemble of style. “It’s the type of collision you could expect from a Muccia Prada or Tom Ford handbag”, says Bobby Riley Creative Director/Principal at Soldier Design.
The shoes will be available at Concepts in Cambridge, MA this summer and at other fine retailers worldwide.
