Oi Polloi was bestowed with a wonderful opportunity to work with Clarks on these Wallabees. The UK-based retailer thought long and hard about how to rework such a classic shoe and their solution was to use “Unicorn Leather.” By the name “Unicorn Leather”, they mean this:

the name given to elk hides by the specialist tannery tasked with producing the raw materials.

The end result of the utilization of this leather is 2 superb Wallabees in Dijon and Wasabi colors. Both colors are fantastic for Spring/Summer and look to be a must buy. If you feel the same way, head over to Oi Polloi’s web store to pick these up.

Menswear retailer Oi Polloi has worked with Gloverall on a small collaborative project. Gloverall manufactured some of their classic duffels and pea-coats, in England, exclusively for Oi Polloi. The Monty, a classic duffle coat, comes in a solid navy/red colorway and the Reefer Jacket comes in two colorways and is fully lined. Rather than changing the outside appearance, Oi Polloi concentrated on adding some nice details on the inside.

Take a look at the Oi Polloi x Gloverall Jackets after the jump.

For many, this shoe needs no introduction or discussion. Combining heritage and simplicity, the Clarks Weaver is a classic model that hasn’t been seen in years. Lucky for us, Clarks has decided to reproduce a run of this low-profile, crepe-soled cousin of the ubiquitous Wallabee and Desert Boot. Coming in chestnut brown and sand suede, the Clarks Weavers are available now at Oi Polloi.

For more detailed images of the Clarks Weaver continue reading after the jump.

Manchester’s Oi Polloi, working with Etnies Plus, has devised four styles of footwear hedged on subtle details. All feature the Oi Polloi Magpie motif. As with each Etnies Plus release each pair is individually numbered. 
Some more words on the collaboration:
"The shoes maketh the man is what we were told when we were growing up, which must have had some kind of impact, as we’ve been left mentally scarred with what can only be described as a slightly fanatical obsession with shoes," said Steve Sanderson, Co-founder of Oi Polloi.  "One day we were talking to the nice chaps at etnies about the merits of geography teacher shoes, and how we were keen to make some shoes of our own. Not long after, the wheels were in motion, and as if by magic, the etnies Plus Oi Polloi Collaboration was created!"
Full preview after the jump.

Ever since an Italian company licensed Woolrich, we have been impressed with the development of the line. Today we see American workwear with a vintage touch, Italian influence, designed by a Japanese designer and it could not be better. You get the best out of all three worlds.
"Daiki hasn’t pulled his designer punches this time, it’s possibly the most perfect collaboration we’ve seen, the quality of each piece is outstanding, but never over done. Daiki’s understanding of functional clothing is out of this world, if you’re looking for a jacket or shirt that’s going to last you a lifetime, will never go out of fashion and never really be in fashion (thank god), this stuff was made for you."
A first selection of the Woolrich Woolen Mills Fall/Winter 2008 collection is now available at Oi Polloi.
