CLAE introduces The Haywood

Southern California-based footwear brand CLAE has just launched its newest court style; the Haywood.

Founded in 2001 by footwear and fashion industry veteran Sung Choi, CLAE was established out of the need for a new approach to footwear: modernizing classic, casual shoes and blending them with the comfort of athletic footwear. The materials selection is a crucial step in the making of the sneakers, with the brand selecting premium leathers from certified tanneries by the Leather Working Group and a focus on innovating to find sustainable Vegan alternatives to traditional leather.

The new shoe, the Haywood boasts an all-leather upper construction with intricate detailing, including a perforated toe box, side panels, and contrasting or tonal colour accents, which adds a premium touch to the design. Handcrafted with premium Italian certified leathers, natural rubber and recycled polyester lining.

The Haywood is comes in three colour ways: Off White Leather, Off White Clay, and White Leather Black for £160.
