Diemme and Clarks Originals unite to reimagine three classic silhouettes

Italian footwear brand Diemme has partnered with British label Clarks Originals on a collection that reinterprets three of Clarks Originals' best known styles, the Wallabee, the Desert Boot and the Desert Trek, with Diemme's mountain boot construction.

The collection goes on sale on November 5.

Each style is built on Diemme's lug sole, taken from the brand's Roccia Vet and Cornaro boots. Hiking D-ring hardware and a rubber mudguard with a crepe-inspired texture reference the design heritage of both brands, combining outdoor functionality with the recognisable Clarks Originals shapes.

The materials follow Clarks Originals codes. The Wallabee is made in champagne-coloured suede from British tannery Charles F. Stead, while the Desert Boot comes in Clarks' signature Cola suede. The Desert Trek is reworked as a mid-cut style in black full-grain leather.

All three styles are produced by Diemme in Italy, at the company's family factory in Onè di Fonte in the Veneto region, an area with a long tradition in handmade outdoor footwear.
