Brand: 18 East x Padmore & Barnes

Purchase: 18 East website and New York store

Editor's note: If 6" Timbs is the official winter shoe in New York, Wallabee may be an unofficial shoe in the fall. Local brand 18 East is bringing moctoed styles into a colder climate through the latest collaboration with silhouetted OG British Manufacturer, Padmore & Barnes.

From Wu-Tang Clan to ordinary people in Queens, Wallabee is a staple food in New York. The Clarks version is the most famous version, but it borrows elements from the original Padmore, which made its debut thirty years before Clarks acquired the Irish company (Padmore has been independent since the mid-1980s).

Versatile and comfortable, the moc toe style is one of these shoes. Of course, unless it rains and the crepe soles start to lose their grip on the sidewalk.

The second Padmore & Barnes shoe from 18 East solved this problem and created a sturdy style suitable for all-season wear.

Vibram Morflex soles are used for winter treatment. These black leather pedals are treated with beeswax for natural waterproofness. The usual flat shoelaces are replaced with some beautiful speed shoelaces with 3M trim, which improves visibility and wear resistance. sex.

There are many minor adjustments throughout the process, but this is an improvisation of a classic, not a major revision.

In fact, you can see this mentality in the latest games of 18 East, including these kicks. Many fans’ favorite styles return with fresh fabrics and some new styles.

Part of the success of 18 East really lies in its water droplets cleverly adjusted to familiar shapes with tactile textiles. The wheel has not been reinvented, but it has been transformed.

The same goes for the Padmore & Barnes collaboration at 18 East. If it is not broken, why repair it?
