Josh Brubaker just made one of 2026’s dopest hybrid shoes. The independent footwear designer recently showed off a new model called the F-6796, co-opting the moc toe silhouette of the always iconic Clarks Wallabee with woven details pulled straight from the Nike Air Footscape Woven.

For those who may be unfamiliar, this sort of mash-up is nothing new for Brubaker. A quick scroll through the designer’s Instagram page shows a number of independently made shoes with throughlines back to widely known silhouettes, the Margiela Future, German Army Trainer, and Nike Air Terra Humara among them. He’s the one man band behind FILMSUEDE and recently popped out at ComplexCon with an exclusive drop. If creations like this are any indication, his star looks poised to rise even further.

The F-6796 looks every bit the part of a Clarks Wallabee and Nike Air Footscape Woven mash-up. The upper is cut entirely from black leather, while the sides feature a continuous woven streak carrying much of the same curvature as its muse. That woven aesthetic is currently popular across the board, seen via comparable moc toe styles from Bottega Veneta and plenty of other brands cashing in on the trend.

Brubaker says he’s still making some adjustments, but when he’s all wrapped up, expect limited quantities to release via filmsuede.com. See detailed pics below if you’re as big a fan as we are.
