When choosing a design concept, it’s essential to ensure it aligns with the brand’s identity while introducing something fresh and innovative. The Clarks Wallabee reimagined concept presentation maintains brand consistency while creating a new product that is interesting and relevant. It is additionally helpful when evaluating finalists to see a designer’s research, concept possibilities, and comprehensive exploration of different approaches as this how presentations would occur when working for a brand.

This is a great and commercial interpretation of a classic. It is modernized and updated without losing the essence of the original.

I find it to be the most compelling initiative because it elevated a simple, everyday product into a sophisticated, technical one.
I’d love to see it live!
