First Look: HAL STUDIOS® x Clarks Originals Wallabee Eden GTX
As teased by Creative Director, John Bouquet.
HAL STUDIOS® has been rising in popularity as of late, thanks to their partnership with ASICS on 2023’s GEL-1130 MK III “Glacier”, and GEL-1130 MK-II “Forest”.
While they’ve also collaborated with adidas for a limited 300-pair Velosamba, their next project sees them leaning into the anti-sneaker, taking on the Clarks Originals Wallabee Eden GTX.
From what’s discernible from the images by @johnbouquet, the pair will be presented in Black or Tan options, with rugged leather—textured and coated with GORE-TEX—and contrasting stitching.
At the lateral, they employ a cryptic code motif that echoes of A-COLD-WALL* and Off-White signatures. The design is finished off with co-branded tassel hangtags, a Clarks Originals hallmark.
For its tech specs, a soft foam midsole and Vibram rubber outsole work in tandem to deliver all-day comfort and long-lasting wear.
Information and images are scant at the time of writing, but more should surface in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
