This UP THERE exclusive version of the Padmore & Barnes P204 moccasin is our ode to early '90s rap.
The main inspiration came from Ghostface Killah's debut solo album Ironman. The cover sees Ghostface with fellow Wu-Tang members Raekwon the Chef and Cappadonna in the lab cooking-up his signature two-tone Wallabees. Working with Padmore & Barnes – the original Wallabees manufacturer – we put our own twist on the recipe. Instead of splitting colours we split the materials. Finished in bright fuchsia, the outer is a buttery suede whilst the medial is cut from croc-embossed leather.
Aside from that we kept it pretty simple – as simple as a pink shoe can be – relying on Padmore's 100+ years of manufacturing knowledge to do our vision justice.
