Remember Clae mark one, those underrated skate-style shoes at the beginning of the last decade with a spot of extra design flair? Sung knows good shoe design (and as a mind behind PNB and Triple 5 Soul back when they were good, he knows about more than footwear) but he was a little ahead of his time the first time around. Thankfully he returned a few years back, using that vast amount of amassed industry experience to create something very distinctive indeed. These are casual styles with no pretence of performance, but fanboys will see the visual cues in the mix regardless, and they're significantly flyer than most luxury lines commanding a heftier price tag. Can we break rank and copy from Clae's own site, given that their copywriting game is tight? "The Rollins blows in with the crisp autumn air like an improvisational romp across the urban terrain. With a mixed medium upper accented with metal hardware details, Rollins’s roots lie in the trail/hiking tradition. And while it’s strong enough to weather the elements in the wild, the Rollins epitomizes a new harmony between rugged and refined. Luxe materials flipped in a vibrant colors palette delivers notes you haven’t heard in a long time." J. Peterman himself couldn't have put it better.
