After a series of beautiful collaborations with big names in sportswear during this year 2020 (several articles available on this site), the famous Japanese shop ATMOS finds an old partner, the legendary English brand CLARKS. This new and second project is based on the iconic Wallabee Boot. It puts an end to 8 years of absence of collaboration between the two famous brands.
This shoe with a cozy look is available in two colorways, black and light brown, and is adorned with an « animal » pattern very dear to Atmos.
It consists of a mix of fake fur materials, with an animal stripe pattern on the toe box and a solid color on the rest of the foot. For the black pair, this striped print is black on white and for the light brown iteration, it appears dark brown on camel. A beautiful contrast is brought by the symbolic pink and blue colors of the Harajuku region, where Atmos is based, and the streets of South West England, where the company CLARKS ORIGINAL was founded. The pink color can be found on one of the two leather tags, called « Fob » hanging from the laces, and on the collar of the black iteration. For the light brown pair, the blue color can only be seen on one of the Fob and the collar appears black. In order to affirm the identity of the pair while keeping mystery, the collars are covered with GPS coordinates, which correspond to the location of Atmos in Harajuku, as well as the English street where CLARKS was born. The Atmos Tokyo logo is engraved on the FOB to spread the Japanese message to the world. For the sake of durability, grip and weight reduction, the whole is based on a Vibram sole, beige for the light brown version and tone-on-tone for the black iteration.
The Atmos x Clarks Originals « Wallabee Boots Gen » in two colorways, will be released on December 19, 2020 via a raffle whose registrations will be open from Wednesday, December 16, 2020 on the site of the Japanese shop atmos-tokyo.com. Sizesrun UK 6-UK 11 for a price of 200€.
