    I have the old school sands colored wallabees, and I love them. Any scuff marks can usually be removed with a pink eraser. The grey updated model featured is dope, and I would like a blue pair.that

    In london theres a huge jamaican demographic because jamaica used to be a british colony, they could move to england without a visa or permission. They all wear clarks in jamaica, its the same as air force 1s in america. All the time i leave the house i always get yardies asking me why im wearing them, and theyre all really happy to see a white boy rocking clarks. I always say to them "clarks pon foot, every gal garn look, every man pon shook"

    I just came across new release "ashcott cup black suede" so I was little bit hesitant to buy them so I youtbe videos I found this video. I think I get an ideas about sizes, I have owned clarks sandals, I have few clarks dress shouse. But I just saw these new release I cant get out of my mind they are pricey, cause I never bought a shoes more than $110 but for these $170 is nothing they look amazing. Definately I will buy them. Thanks for the video.

    These new marshmellows outer sole (cup)is dope authentic leather like the originals hopefully they can hold the long walks with the bookbags. Also the Clarks wally style but with boot sole is hard. I still rely on Brit Walkers be just as dope & the New Castles is what i"m talking about with the exception of these wally style the other wally style brit walkers look hella Sad not to be bought. Play boy lows straight leather & the high tops slip On are official also.

    What's good with that High ass Crepe Sole. Goes right over the front of the Shoe. Competely. Looks like a Clarks Vans Fusion. Not feeling those joints. But I respect your opinion. If I don't get Classic Wallabees, I'd Rather the Clarks Wallabee Step, Or Clarks Wallabee Run. One has a Synthetic Sole as you mentioned you wanted, and one has a Darker Crepe Sole. Peace.

    • @E21Life
      @E21Life  Рік тому

      I feel you and you’re right, it is a little weird. I’m just happy it looks like a “classic Wallabee” but wider and more stable. They should fix how the front looks though.
