Only the Finest Italian Leather Was Used for these Rare Clarks Originals Wallabees

On Friday, May 18, 2018, famed footwear brand Clarks Originals released an extremely exclusive run of made-in-Italy Wallabee Boots. Using premium Janus Butt Suede (one of the world’s softest suedes) from British tannery Charles F. Stead, these special Wallabees are hand-numbered up to 365, the maximum amount that has been produced in each of the four exclusive colorways: light blue, black, orange, and maple.

These Limited Edition Wallabies may be sporting the softest suede in the world on the exterior, but what’s surrounding your feet on the inside? The lining is made of premium, super soft leather and the shoe signature crepe sole (upgraded from the original color to an antique amber).

Although we’re not exactly in boot season now, there’s no reason you can’t start planning ahead for autumn and winter. Remember, there are only 365 versions of each color, so if you’re even possibly thinking of buying a pair of these Clarks Originals Wallabees, you’re going to want to act fast.

The great thing about chukka boots — especially Wallabees — is that you can dress them up or down without worry. Since these are, without a doubt, one of the finest pairs of chukka boots we’ve seen in a few seasons, we highly recommend wearing these bad boys with a pair dark jeans, a light denim jacket, and a breezy button down. Add a pair of Clubmaster sunglasses and you’re ready for work or play.

After devastating wildfires that plagued the Los Angeles area in January 2025, it didn’t take long for brands to jump in on the action. These wildfires, which burned over 180,000 acres according to Cal Fire, brought massive destruction and fatalities to the areas of Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside, San Bernardino, and more. While the wildfires are long gone, residents of these locations are still reeling to get back on their feet. 

In response to the devastation, Oliver Peoples has collaborated with contemporary artist Alex Israel on a special edition of the brand’s Oliver Sun frames. To help aid victims, 100% of sales will be donated to the Steadfast LA Foundation’s Modular Housing Initiative, which is currently assisting underinsured residents in getting back on track in their communities. With an accompanying campaign featuring Miranda Kerr, DJ Diplo, and Eric Nam, this project highlights what makes Los Angeles a home to these artists.
