CLAE Joshua - Black / Smoke

The Joshua - Black / Smoke is a vegan sneaker by CLAE, in a subtle colorscheme of black, white and grey.

The upper is made of recycled polyester, the lining of recycled plastic bottles and the insoles of PU foam.
The soles are made of recycled EVA (elastic foam, lightweight, abrasion-resistant and insulating). They provide good cushioning and are soft and flexible like rubber.

Joshua fits small! Most customers fit one size larger than normal.

CLAE is an LA-based brand and has been working with the same manufacturer in Vietnam for 20 years. They stand for fair pay, health and safety in the workplace, decent working hours, freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining. There is a formal ban on child labor and discrimination.

Furthermore, they work with SEAQUAL to remove and reuse as much plastic as possible from the ocean.
CLAE continues to innovate to minimize their carbon footprint.
