My first pairs of Clarks Wallabees

I’ve been wanting a pair of Clarks Wallabees for a while now and I finally bought 2. It was the night before my co-worker’s wedding and I wanted to buy a pair of shoes to wear. I have a pair of black Timberlands that I wore in the past but they were uncomfortable. Abby was at Ontario Mills that day so I met up with her after work.

I decided to check out the Clarks store since I was already there. They had a sale, buy one get one at 25% off. I found some black, suede ones that I had my eye on the last time I was there. They feel so comfortable, it’s like walking on a matress. The guy also brought out the last pair of some canvas ones. They were nice and I haven’t seen them before so I bought them too. Abby liked the suede ones too so I bought her a pair too. So for 3 pairs of Clarks Wallabees I spent around $220 – not bad I thought.

Since I started collecting shoes over a decade ago, there have been only 3 pairs of shoes (not counting the pairs I already own) that I would buy in a heartbeat – in no particular order.

  1. Nike Air Foamposite One: Originally released back in 1997, I would have loved a pair but $180 was insanely expensive for that time. They re-released this shoe a couple of years ago, but didn’t know until I was too late and they were sold out, again. I’m hearing rumors of another retro release and I hope this time I can get a pair.
  2. Adidas Real Deal: This pair is one of the most comfortable basketball shoes I’ve ever worn, next to the Air Pippen II. I had the original white and blue color. I balled in them until they worn out and I “traded” them in. Now I wish I bought 2 pairs at that – even though it won’t fit me now.
  3. Nike Air Penny II: I had the original pair back in 1996. Same thing happened as I mentioned above. I balled in them and “traded” them in. I wish I kept them even though they were worn out. Just having the original – sigh. Anyway, they released the retros a few weeks ago and I ran to the nearest store to pick them up. I have yet to wear them coz they look so nice not worn, but they look so nice when I have them on. Now I want the Orlando Magic Penny jersey to match.Air Penny II retro
