’90 年末，由 NIGO 主導的 A Bathing Ape 推出了「袋鼠鞋」Wallabee Boots 的翻玩鞋款 “Manhunt Boots”，當時不僅風靡日本裏原，更受到港台藝人追捧著用；在 20 年後，Bape 終於和正宗袋鼠鞋的英國百年鞋履品牌 Clarks Originals 首次合作。

為紀念 Clarks 旗下「沙漠靴」誕生 70 週年，雙方共同打造了帶有 Bape 各時期經典圖像雷雕的 Desert Boots，並在滾口處車上了 Ape Head 布標，大底則延續了 Clarks 的高品質生膠，結合 Clarks 和 Bape 的工藝與街頭玩味。
最有趣的莫過於當年被 Bape 大力翻玩的袋鼠鞋，這回雙方合作的 Wallabee Boots 將當年的翻玩元素完整套用到了 Clarks 正統鞋型上，包含當年 Bape 特有的 “MANHUNT“ 字樣以及鋸齒大底都被挪用到此回聯名的 Wallabee Boots，鞋身則用上了 1st Camo 的迷彩布料。這樣正宗與翻玩的結合在品牌之間確實稀罕，也增加了本次聯名企劃的內涵。
