Clarks Originals has reunited with Wu Wear to pay tribute to some of the brand’s most iconic wearers. The latest capsule sees three takes on the Wallabee silhouette, coming in colorways inspired by Wu Tang Clan‘s “Ice Cream” and “Glaciers of Ice” lyrics, which are referenced through swirling patterns and mixed colors.

The silhouette comes with a water and stain resistant suede upper, which sits atop a classic crepe sole. On the “Navy” and “Maple” colorways, this natural crepe sole is on display, while the “Brown” design sees it covered in a honey spray. Each shoe features full leather trims ad lining, as well as Wu Tang’s iconic logo on the heel band fob.

Take a look at the three colorways in the gallery above, and expect the Wu Wear x Clarks Originals capsule to arrive at the Clarks web store and select stockists on July 20.
