A shoe with a clean, traditional silhouette is on the top of the Spring must-have list for most men this year. Here to swoop in and fill the void is Clae with their Spring ’10 collection. Accompanying the core classics from past seasons, such as the Russell, Romare, and McQueen, Clae gives us three new models, the Bruce, Ellington, and Zissou. The Bruce gets it inspiration from legendary martial artist Bruce Lee with its simplistic, contemporary take on the Chinese slipper. Designed in the mold of classic boat shoe, the Zissou favors the nonchalant and eclectic personality of Steve Zissou of The Life Aquatic. The Ellington rounds out the new releases with being the slimmest silhouette we’ve seen form Clae. This functional shoe can be worn with a pair of khakis for a casual look as well as pants for a more formal, put together look. Vegans around the country will also be happy being that a number of shoes come in hemp.
