The colorway and style is described as “a distinct nod to Southern California’s sand, snow and luxury lifestyles”. Sure, we’ll buy into this imagery…a little bit of Joshua Tree rocks, some Mammoth snow, and Malibu sands as inspiration is imaginably evident in these American Rag x CLAE Hoffman sneakers. But even without the landscape evocation, these casual athletic sneakers are handsome enough to wear from the ocean to the mountains to the desert and everywhere between. Their retro-minimalist silhouette derived from CLAE’s existing Hoffman line is “clean”, imaginably a great fit for a wardrobe which appreciates a tastefully subdued sport-ish style.
The American Rag x CLAE Hoffman is priced at $120, exclusively available in Los Angeles at American Rag or online.
