Clarks Originals Teams Up with Nicholas Daley for Exciting New Collection

Clarks Originals, the renowned British footwear brand, has partnered with London-based designer Nicholas Daley to commemorate its 200th anniversary.

Collaboration Details

Daley has given a fresh twist to the brand’s iconic ‘Wallabee’ shoe, blending his passion for British craftsmanship with his unique Jamaican and Scottish heritage through bespoke textiles.

Design Features

Set to launch on August 29, the Clarks Originals x Nicholas Daley Wallabee features a modernized interpretation of the classic Wallabee silhouette. It showcases a striking blue and red tartan patchwork design, accompanied by a distinctive flower fob and tartan fabric laces, along with alternative tonal flat lace options.

Nicholas Daley’s Reflection

Daley expressed his excitement about the collaboration: “Clarks is a British brand close to my heart—launching this partnership during their 200-year anniversary is a tremendous honor. My Jamaican heritage adds a personal touch, as my grandfather wore Clarks shoes and was passionate about this brand.”

200 Years of Heritage

As part of its 200-year legacy celebration, Clarks released a documentary titled ‘From Somerset to the World’ in February, which delves into the brand’s rich shoemaking history that began in 1825 in Street, Somerset.

This year also saw the launch of a collaboration with musician Liam Gallagher, who reimagined another classic silhouette, following the success of their first partnership in 2022. Additionally, April marked the brand’s second annual Wallabee Day, and they plan to release a collector’s book in October.

Availability and Pricing

The Clarks Originals x Nicholas Daley Wallabee will be offered in both men’s and women’s sizes. It will be available for purchase at Clarks Originals stores, online, and through select retail partners. The retail price is set at £170 / $210 / €210.
