END. is one of the shops that offer us the most attractive and sought after collaborations. A few days after the release of the 1st collection with the legendary Japanese brand BAPE, the British store unveils the second part of its collaboration with CLARKS « Artisan Craft ».
This capsule follows the duo of revisited Wallabees released over 2 years ago, in May 2020.
The « Artisan Craft » collection is a celebration of artisanal techniques and the individuals who defend them. The 2 partners wanted to honor this ancestral practice that favors a slower and more thoughtful approach to product creation.
As with the 1st drop, END. has reworked the Wallabee Regular and Wallabee Boot.
The Wallabee Regular comes in 2 shades of brown and the Wallabee Boot in a shade of deep green and light green.
Each shoe features a suede and nubuck upper with hand-stitched details at the stitching on the toe box and heel counter. To highlight the sense of detail and meticulous craftsmanship, these shoes benefit from a fabric collar corned with colorful geometric patterns, as well as beads and tassels slipped into the laces and upper eyelet respectively. The collab is affirmed by a double hangtag with the name of each brand engraved and by co-branded insoles. The whole is based on the iconic crepe sole of Clarks.
The END. X CLARKS ORIGINALS « ARTISAN CRAFT » V2 capsule will be released on December 10, 2022 via an open raffle on the UK shop launches.endclothing.com. Prices are set at 175€ ($184) for the Wallabee Regular and 185€ ($195) for the Wallabee Boot. Let’s go and good luck !
