Everyone in my circle knows that I’m never caught wearing Nikes. It’s just too easy, like cheering for the Yankees. I’m also not a sneaker fiend. I like fresh kicks (literally) and I try to have a 7 day rotation to keep the funk at bay. But I don’t collect sneakers, I rock ‘em. And when it comes to brands that stay true to their “timeless” vision and make superior products, New Balance gets the gold medal. Check this Hypebeast - New Balance Feature.
Clae is regarded as the pioneer of the ‘athleisure’ footwear movement. Clae launched in 2001 with its hybrid collection combining the comfort of a street-ready sneaker with classic footwear styling resulting in a new kind of casual. The brand was awarded the Sportswear International Fashion Award (SIFA) for ‘Best Men’s Footwear Collection’ in 2003. After a brief 3 year incubation, they have returned with some new cult classics and revamped models.
If you like to keep your clothing simple, timeless yet stylish, Clae is a strong contender in the shoe department. You can purchase their wares directly from their website.
