first-ever sneaker made in Los Angeles
CLAE x KX Lab
CLAE is pleased to unveil the brand’s first-ever sneaker made in Los Angeles. The Louie features elements of comfort crafted with sustainable, vegan knit materials and is made by newly-opened KX Lab, the first technologically advanced knit manufacturing facility in Los Angeles.
The partnership with KX Lab offers CLAE a new way to create a more sustainable shoe while enabling the brand to design, develop, and produce products under one roof.
Part of our collections made locally
Made in Los Angeles
The unique endeavor of making a shoe in Los Angeles inspired us to connect with some of our people, friends of CLAE, who are also making products in LA and share our value of sustainability.
This is just a sampling of friends around LA who are making culture, pushing sustainability and building community from hospitality, architecture, and retail.
