The Clae brand originally launched in 2001, and after 3 years of being put on the shelf they are back. Merging the gaps between style, comfort and versatility, Clae pioneered “athleisure” footwear and aims to create designs for those who are bored with traditional options. Their collection of modern footwear rides the line between shoe and sneaker. And, they never compromise style or comfort in the process.
Sung Choi is the mastermind behind Clae and has also worked on legendary streetwear brand PNB Nation, DC Shoes, Lakai Footwear and Supreme. His goal with Clae is to always create versatile footwear for young and old. Choi has stated that he receives creative inspiration from the simple lines of the mid-century modern art. His insistence on quality production/materials and his attention to detail can be seen throughout the Clae line up, and has become a signature for the brand. This detail can be seen on Clae’s most popular designs:
This sleek design has a sophisticated edge and offers supreme comfort. They feature a supple leather lining, classic cup sole and a custom molded foot bed.
Available in many colors, this mid high design is part chukka, part moccasin, all style. And like many of Clae’s models, it’s named after the person who inspired it.
A timeless design that’s casual without being sloppy and sophisticated without being pretentious.
