Clarks Originals is celebrating its 200-year legacy with a significant partnership, announcing its inaugural collaboration with South Korean label POST ARCHIVE FACTION (PAF). The highly anticipated drop, the WallabeeBT PAF, marks a powerful convergence of PAF’s boundary-pushing design philosophy with Clarks’ rich heritage of craftsmanship and iconic silhouettes.
The collaboration is a thematic blend of history and innovation. PAF, a collective known for fabricating new structural formulas, was inspired by Korea’s traditional rituals and totemic symbols that express a deep connection to nature. This heritage is reinterpreted into a contemporary design language of “minimal impact and considered creation,” transforming the iconic Wallabee into a work of experimental construction.
The WallabeeBT PAF features bespoke material choices and refined alterations that pay tribute to the original model while showcasing PAF’s distinctive aesthetic. The shoe, arriving in three colorways — black, grey and beige — remains a wearable symbol, now infused with new meaning. The collection will be available in men’s sizing for $190 USD and releases globally on October 17th through Clarks Originals stores, the PAF online channels, and select retail partners. This partnership underscores the shared commitment of both brands to evolve tradition through innovative design.
