TODAYSHYPE Spotlight: CLAE Arthur x LIFUL White Tumbled Leather


One of CLAE's best selling and most simplified models is their "Arthur" silhouette. The stripped down and timeless sneaker is a true all around shoe that you can wear in nearly any situation and still look fly.

CLAE recently linked up with one of the industries leaders in equally clean and timeless menswear LIFUL. So what happens when the two get together and collaborate on a shoe as clean as the Arthur? The end result is just what you would expect with premium white tumbled leather covering the entire upper of the shoe and little nice touches like a red and blue miss match aglet on the laces and subtle LIFUL and CLAE branding on the heel tab.

Some people may want a crazy off the wall outcome for certain collabs but for this specific collaboration we couldn't be any more happy with the simple and streamlined results the two have come up with.

We thankfully got our hands on a pair and shot some on feet images which you can view directly below. Make sure to go pick up a pair directly from CLAE here and also check out the LIFUL online store here.

TODAYSHYPE Spotlight: Clae Strayhorn Vibram


Clae has quickly become one of the go to destinations if your looking for something a little left of what may be offered from the normal swoosh or three stripes offerings out there. Their versatile and ever expanding lineup includes some real gems and the Strayhorn Vibram that were taking a look at here is one of our favorites.

In what could be the your favorite all around Fall shoe, the Strayhorn Vibram features some sleek and classy lines everywhere you look with everything sitting on a classic white and rugged Vibram sole. A deep navy leather is used throughout the entire upper of the Strayhorn which is a smooth, supple and lush leather that is sure to only get better with age as you wear these in.

There really isn't much to cover in regards to the the actual styling of the shoe as it borrows from the classic chukka and desert boot that you should already be familiar with. The addition of the Vibram Christy sole and the well done Clae construction is what really elevates the Strayhorn to a higher level and should definitely be considered as a next purchase if your looking for a solid, well constructed and versatile shoe for the Fall season.

You can pick up a pair now directly from the Clae online store here and make sure to continue below for our in depth gallery covering every angle of the shoe.

TODAYSHYPE Spotlight: Clae Arthur


Clae always comes with solid offerings with different silhouettes and cuts versatile enough to get you through just about every season. The Arthur is one of their most clean cut sneakers in their vast catalog and one we really enjoyed taking a first hand look at.

This new Curry Leather version that we were blessed with features a real premium feel to it in a color that is ideal for the current Fall season. At first glance the shoe itself may look like it may on the heavier side of things like its other counterparts but this shoe is extremely light to say the least. It's not only a welcome surprise but also a key to this shoe's success and daily appeal.

The entire upper of the shoes is constructed of a full grain curry leather that almost looks aged in some places giving the shoe some character and texture. A neoprene upper on the tongue is just one of those little things that adds to the comfort of the shoe making it an easy favorite once you slip it on.

A white midsole with slight gum accents cap off the shoe well and make the Arthur one of the most versatile sneakers you can have in your rotation. You can pick up the Clae Arthur in this Curry Leather makeup and some alternate colorways right now directly from the Clae online store here.

Make sure to continue below for out full first hand gallery of this low top classy sneaker and stay tuned the rest of the week for some more first hand features.
