Wallabees
February17
No not the animal, the shoe! These shoes were very popular in the 70s. I had a pair of chocolate brown ones, but the most popular color was a tan. They only had two lace holes and the bottom of the shoe was a crepe rubber. These were the most comfortable shoes that I have every owned! I was so sad when I wore them out.
The shoes went out of fashion for a while, but you can still get them today! The original manufacturer was Clarks, a UK based store. The Wallabee was introduced in 1965 when Lance Clark sketched out a moccasin based on other Clark shoes. The price has gone up, but the style remains the same!
Wu Tang Clan member Ghostface Killah a.k.a. the “Wallabee Champ” pimped these in big way in the late 90s’ Check out the album cover for “Ironman” which features several pairs of said shoes. Ironman is also an awesome CD.
dude the wallabees are so hot.you truly need to geta pair if you dont already have some.and the ladies also like them too.so now you really need to get some.they are so comfortable,its not even funny dude.but seriously they are crazy cool, so you need to get some before they go away again.but dont step in water they get so messed up on the bottom if you do that. the only key is that you keep them clean and dont step in any water,and you will be lookin awesome good dude.nice talkin,but seriously think about geting some if you alredy dont. PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[...] More than fifty years ago, the Desert Trek shoes from Clarks shoes were all the rage. These shoes were introduced in 1950 and based on boots that Nathan Clark’s army friends had purchased in Cairo. Later Clark would introduce the Wallabee, the classic shoe of the 70s (I had a pair)! [...]
