Raekwon, Jadakiss, and more on the making of the documentary 'Clarks and New York: Soles of the City.'
The Wallabee is a weird shoe. The square toe. The wedge sole. The two-eyelet closure. It all comes together to form something that looks distinctly different from, well, pretty much everything else out there. And yet, it’s an icon. And nowhere is that status more evident than in New York, where it’s been entwined with hip-hop since the early days.
That’s why Richardson—who got his first pair of all-black Wallys at the Colosseum in Jamaica, Queens in the late ‘80s—was down to team up with the Somerset, England-based brand to highlight the story of a left-of-centre shoe introduced in the '60s that stood apart from the Shell Toes and Cortezes of the young hip-hop scene and still managed to become a fixture seen on the feet of everyone from Slick Rick to the Wu-Tang Clan. Plus, he knew how to tell the whole story.
“I said, ‘Look, let me take this further and really fold out the history of hip-hop and the right people to really paint this picture the right way,’” he explains. “And it's been a great ride in history ever since.”
