How 6 Real People Style Clarks Wallabees
There’s no wrong way to flex the classic silhouette.
Fall and winter season are synonymous with a handful of footwear styles, namely classic “Wheat” Timberland boots, all things UGG and Clarks Originals Wallabees.
Released in 1967, the Wallabee found its first surge in popularity in Kingston, Jamaica among “rude boys,” — a slang term for teenagers in the ska and rocksteady music scenes, although the term has also been used to describe criminals and delinquents as well.
As many Jamaicans migrated to the United States in the early 1980s, they brought their Wallabees with them, and the model soon became an integral part of hip-hop fashion. The Wallabee boot has been name-dropped by the likes of GZA, Raekwon, Scarface, Slick Rick, and LL Cool J, yet remains an on-trend style that pairs well with sweatpants, maxi skirts and cargos alike.
