Slam Jam and Clarks Originals Connect for Collaborative Wallabee Silhouette
Paying homage to the seminal band Madness and its hit record, “Night Boat to Cairo.”
Slam Jam and Clarks Originals have connected to present a collaborative Wallabee shoe and it draws inspiration from Slam Jam’s archive and a picture its founder Luca Benini took in the lands of Egypt.
For Clarks, its famous Wallabee silhouette has stood as a canvas for experimentation for some time now. For example, recently-unveiled takes of the shoe have come in the form of its Packer collaboration, its skeleton-covered Vandy the Pink iteration, and even a slip-on silhouette that was introduced during the backend of 2022.
Now, the Wallabee has been reimagined by Slam Jam — who are also working fresh off the back of an impressive collaboration with Umbro — and it shows its love for the early 1980s two-tone scene in the UK. With this in mind, the new design has been complemented with a two-tone makeover, merging shades of black and white to create a trippy upper that sits atop a blacked-out sole unit. Additionally, the shoe also pays homage to the seminal band Madness and its hit record, “Night Boat to Cairo.”
You can take a closer look at the new Slam Jam x Clarks Originals collaboration above and the shoe will be available via the official Slam Jam website from February 25.
