The capsule is an homage to hip-hop’s influence on the Wallabee.
Union LA and Clarks have teamed up to reimagine an icon.
For decades, the Clark Wallabee has been revered as a staple in the footwear world with cultural relevance thanks to hip-hop’s adoption of the shoe.
The “Crazy Visions” collection, derived from Ghostface Killah’s “Glaciers of Ice” lyrics, embodies Union’s signature flair and celebration of cultural heritage.
The streetwear brand infuses the shoe with classic elements and modern twists. Drawing inspiration from the esteemed Hyke version of the Wallabee, Union expands the outer sole for improved stability and adds a leather welt. The upper design takes cues from the dynamic textures and materials of 1980s-era running shoes, incorporating a mix of mesh, suede, and leather panels.
Central to Union’s aesthetic is a vibrant interplay of colors, reflecting the brand’s West Indian roots. Two striking colorways are introduced: the lively Cameo Rose, a nod to cultural icons like Cam’ron, and the commanding Covert Green, reminiscent of military-inspired aesthetics. Each colorway offers a contrasting pop of color for alternative lace styling, enhancing the design’s versatility and individuality.
The Union LA x Clarks Wallabee “Crazy Visions” collection is available now at Store.UnionLosAngeles.com and Union LA locations.
