designed in southern california since 2001, clae shoes offer our favorite footwear options on the men's side of the store for year-round, multi-purpose footwear. from our young guys looking for sharp, modern sneakers with some sophistication to our full grown men expecting more from a shoe than just something to wear casually with jeans. clae fuses the comfort of athletic footwear with the aesthetic of traditional dress-inspired styling.

our first 2011 clae delivery bring two of our favorite styles back onto the shelves at still life, and introduces one of the new silhouettes for the season that we're excited to show off in complete full and half sizes:

• the strayhorn in caramel leather. full grain leather upper with two sets of cotton cord laces, leather lined upper and a latex footbed on a modern cup sole. the strayhorn delivers a seemingly basic form with quiet confidence in shape and function. these mid-tops lend an air of charm with a splash of sophistication without missing a beat.
• the russell in black denim. cotton denim upper with leather accents and two sets of laces: waxed cotton and nylon woven. leather lined upper and custom foodbed on a modern cup sole. with its sublimely simple styling incorportating a smooth pull up leather and a classic up sole, the russell is the thinking man's mid-top. its supple leather lining and the cloud-like feel of a custom molded footbed will have your feet feelign like they are flying high.
• the bailey in oxblood nubuck leather. nubuck and full grain leather upper with nylon cord laces. leather lined upper and a latex footbed on a modern cup sole. with roots in a fine lineage of casual shoes, the bailey (new for 2011) retains the essence of its predecessors while pushing its boundaries forward. created on an athletic sole, using supple leathers and nubuck in a slim profile, the bailey is style with smarts. find yourself slipping them on for many occasions and consider this a new way to move.
