Parisian fashion house SANDRO has unveiled an exclusive collaboration with Clarks Originals for the Autumn/Winter 2025 season, reimagining two of the British brand’s most iconic footwear silhouettes — the Desert Boot™ and the Wallabee™.

This trans-Channel partnership merges SANDRO’s refined, contemporary aesthetic with Clarks’ rich heritage and time-honoured craftsmanship. The result is a modern reinterpretation of two wardrobe staples, with designs tailored for both men and women.

At the heart of the collection is the Wallabee™, a design first launched in 1968. Having cemented its place in a range of cultural movements — from British Mods to American hip-hop artists — the shoe has long been associated with effortless cool. SANDRO’s take on the men’s Wallabee™ is understated yet elevated, using premium materials such as sand suede calfskin, rich cognac leather, and a textured chocolate pony-effect hide. Each pair rests on Clarks’ iconic crepe sole, staying true to the shoe’s legacy while introducing a Parisian polish.

Complementing the Wallabee™ is a fresh iteration of the legendary Desert Boot™, which marks its 75th anniversary this year. Originally created in 1950 by Nathan Clark and inspired by a handmade boot discovered in a Cairo bazaar, the Desert Boot™ has become a cornerstone of casual British style.

SANDRO reinterprets the design with an urban edge for women, offering two distinct finishes: a cosy beige shearling and a tactile cowhide-effect leather. Both versions remain faithful to the boot’s clean silhouette, while embracing a more fashion-forward sensibility.

The SANDRO x Clarks Originals collaboration celebrates the enduring appeal of classic design, updated for today’s fashion landscape. Balancing French elegance with British tradition, the collection offers timeless pieces reimagined through a contemporary lens.

The collection is set to launch in select stores and online later this season.
