Clarks Joins the Billionaire Boys Club
Brand: Billionaire Boys Club x Clarks Originals
Model: Wallabee Boot
Price: $200
Release Date: September 19
Editor's Notes: Clarks Originals’ long list of collaborators is arguably as impressive as it is extensive.
From Aimé Leon Dore and Supreme to Carhartt WIP and, most recently Kurupt FM, the list of labels that the Somerset-based outfit has teamed up with in over the years reads like a who’s who of cool AF brands right now.
Well, you can now add Pharrell and NIGO’s Billionaire Boys Club label to Clarks' ever-growing list, that's after the American streetwear imprint revealed its collaboration with the British footwear label for Fall/Winter 2023.
Set to land on September 18, the collection, which comprises three takes on Clarks' iconic Wallabee Boot, draws on BBC’s “Diamond & Dollar” motif and arrives in a trio of fall-inspired hues that are said to “embody the quintessence of legacy and cultural impact” of both brands, according to the release.
Crafted with a premium Italian suede, each iteration features an all-over tonal print on the upper, a hidden BBC Mantra message printed under the tongue of the shoe, and part-recycled natural rubber pebble crepe sole.
Additional contrast laces are included with the three styles for versatile styling, along with custom collaborative logo fobs.
Clarks’ Wallabee has been through the wringer this year, in a good way, of course. From Facetasm and Aries to sacai and Li-Ning, it’s been the centre of more collaborations than you can shake a fob at.
That being said, a BBC link up isn’t to be sniffed at. Just ask Moncler, who recently dropped a highly-anticipated co-branded capsule alongside the streetwear outfit, one that came equipped with a Pusha T-approved campaign.
Specifics of Clarks’ BBC collaboration release date go as far as September 19 with prices and additional still to be confirmed. But, as we know: good Wallabees come to those who wait. So wait. Please.
