Here’s one of the most peculiar and unprecedented collaborations in the history of the modern sneaker scene: a collaboration between two significant long-standing labels who occupy such different corners of the footwear market that their team-up is as unlikely as head-on competition. It’s one of those ideas you might reject wholesale if you just read that they were gonna combine the Clarks Originals Wallabee chukka with the Fila Original Tennis, and yet, a quick look at them reveals that this isn’t some manatee idea ball mashup. A swooping Fila stripe integrates into the Wallabee’s iconic vamp quite effortlessly, and though we’re simultaneously curious and terrified by the prospect of further colorways, the red-on-tan flat-out works.
