Goods & Services has become known the world over for its bespoke footwear designs and artful re-crafting of beloved models, and now they’re teaming up with Clarks Originals for a custom Wallabee initiative. This isn’t your standard “brand x brand” collaboration either: the initiative enables the artisans at Goods & Services to re-work the Wallabee however they see fit, and they’ll be able to expand to other Clarks Originals silhouettes in the future as well. “We have full creative control, so this is more of an ongoing partnership,” says Goods & Services founder Rory Fortune.

The first part of the partnership is two custom takes on the Wallabee. One features a handmade leather kiltie with custom broguing details, a storm welt midsole, meaning it can be re-soled over and over again, and a durable Vibram Gloxie sole. This unique, heritage-filed style is offset by the collection’s other offering, a more technical take on the Wallabee that boasts a custom winch lacing system, a rubber rand wrapped around the upper’s nether regions and a Vibram “Lite Wolf” hiking sole that’s made in Italy.

Expect both styles to touch down on the Goods & Services webstore May 10th. Each pair will retail for $390 USD and ship in 3-4 weeks from the time of purchase as it’s made to order. Other styles from the partnership will be revealed in the coming months as well.
