NICHOLAS DALEY Wallabee – Navy Combi

Clarks Originals looks to the iconic, the authentic, and the individual; the footwear inspired by Clarks’ origins that are a true reflection of their craft. Founded almost 200 years ago when Cyrus and James Clark made a slipper from sheepskin off-cuts, a groundbreaking innovation at the time, Clarks have gone on to become one of the most ubiquitous shoe brands in the world. Brand staples include the often imitated, but never bettered, Desert Boot as well as the fan-favourite and sublimely comfortable Wallabee, both comprised of authentic English suede with signature Originals crepe soles.Community, craftsmanship and culture lie at the heart of Nicholas Daley’s work. Having graduated from Central Saint Martins in 2013, the London-based designer launched his eponymous brand in 2015. Embedded in his lineage, his practise intertwines personal narrative with wider black British and diasporic themes, incorporating tradition, authenticity, and diversity. Clothing deeply rooted in both present and past, Daley reconsiders meaningful subcultural movements through his contemporary menswear wardrobe. Incorporating bespoke textiles and complex finishes into every collection, the label partners with a range of artisan makers in the UK and beyond to infuse garments with nuance and depth, expanding its sustainable systems through ethical sourcing and innovative repurposing.
