Regarded as a pioneer of the “athleisure” footwear movement, in 2001 Clae launched its never-before seen hybrid collection that delivered the comfort of a sneaker with classic footwear styling resulting in a new definition of casual. Driving the new found athleisure category, Clae was awarded the Sportswear International Fashion Award (SIFA) for “Best Men’s Footwear Collection” in 2003. Committed to quality, detail, and style Clae is returning, after a three-year incubation, with some cult classics and newly revamped models for a consumer market place craving a fresh take on footwear.
