Clarks Originals teams up with Sporty & Rich to redesign the iconic Wallabee silhouette on a limited-edition colorway collection.

Each decision of the design and production was made very deliberately, beginning with the ‘Heinen Hillcrest’ leather that was chosen, sourced from a family run tannery located in Germany called Heinen. The progressive tannery is making strides toward a more sustainable supply chain by reducing their carbon footprint by energy efficient production. The tannery offsets CO2 that cannot be reduced in production by supporting the Kikonda Forest project, planting trees in Uganda in order to combat forest depletion. Clarks Originals has offset 6 tons of CO2 emissions produced during the leather tanning process, including this Hillcrest leather, in the last 12 months.

The shoe also features a FSC certified Natural rubber crepe sole which makes them the most socially and environmentally responsible outsole to date. The Natural rubber comes from the sap of the rubber tree, making it a natural, renewable resource. The FSC label means that rubber has been harvested to benefit communities, wildlife, and the environment. By choosing these products we are supporting responsible management of the world’s forests.
