Clarks and Netflix have teamed up again to release a Clarks x “Stranger Things” adults collection, to be exclusively sold at Journeys starting on Aug. 29. Similar to the children’s collection from earlier this summer, the collaboration was inspired by the hit Netflix series and its 1980s nostalgia, as well as the show’s beloved characters. The shoes will now be available in adults sizing globally at Journeys.com and in stores.
The two pairs in the adult collection feature design notes honoring the Hawkins High School cast members and the notorious Hellfire Club, created with premium retro-colored materials. The collection will be available in two different silhouettes: the Varsity Torhill and Wallabee Evo.
$140
The Torhill celebrates the Hawkins High School’s team spirit using its colors of green and orange, as well as “Stranger Things” embossed stamps and fobs and a tiger print, in honor of the school’s mascot. It also features premium leather uppers, breathable linings and cushioned soles.
It also has a Stranger Things-inspired detail on sand suede uppers, including embroidered and screen-printed Hellfire and Hawkins High logos premium soles, and Clarks Originals and Stranger Things-themed fobs.
$129.99
Clarks recreated some of its most iconic silhouettes for the collaboration, and it also includes a new take on the iconic Wallabee Evo, with two unique designs across each profile. The Wallabee will feature an alternative twist on the Upside Down world, as well as an embroidery of the edgy Hellfire Club’s logo and taglines. “We are nerds and freaks,” is scribbled on one side, as “Hellfire Club” is written on the sole.
The collection include sizes from 7 to 13, with prices starting at $120.
The launch of the Clarks x Stranger Things collaboration with Journeys marks the beginning of more upcoming Clarks launches that will be available at the retailer throughout the year. Clarks, is based in Somerset, England, and was founded in 1825, by brothers Cyrus and James Clark when they made a slipper from sheepskin cut-offs. The brand has since become a mainstay thanks to the original Clarks Desert Boot, first designed by Nathan Clark and launched in 1950, and the iconic Wallabee, with a unique design that makes them unmistakable.
The first season of “Stranger Things” arrived in 2016, becoming one of Netflix’s most successful original show of all time. The pandemonium for the hit show hasn’t died down ahead of its fifth and final season. Earlier this month the streaming giant faced threats of a leak for the upcoming season, showcasing how in demand new episodes of the show still are. Production for Season Five kicked off in January and the show is expected to return sometime in 2025.
