Since Vince was talking about Wallabees, I wanna drop this clarification.
Back in day about 1957 - 87 Clarks owned a company in Ireland named Padmore and Barnes, and out of this factory came the wallabees. Eventually, Padmore and Barnes had a management buy out and now most wallabees are made out of Asia.
If you are a real gear head you will only want to own the Padmore and Barnes wallabees, and not the Asia joints, its like having OGs versus reissues. Look on ebay for the Padmore and Barnes joints, they come up once and a while. I got a pair handed down from my dad. Nice taste pa!!!
Supreme, Paul Smith and Ships did their collaboration with Padmore and Barnes.
Tidbit I just stole from the web.
The recently released Nike HTM Zoom Macropus pays tribute to the Wallabee in both name and form. The macropus is the genus of the members of the macropodidae family, which includes kangaroos and of course, wallabies.
