The benefits of minimalist trainers are well known – they work with everything from tailoring to sportswear, transcend seasonal trends, and suit everyone – which might go some way in explaining Cleens breakthrough success. Founded on the belief that good design and high-quality products should be universally accessible, Cleens launched in 2021 with a simple mission: to deliver fuss-free trainers that are expertly made. Every pair is crafted in a family-run factory in Portugal, and the brand focuses on a curated edit of core styles which it revives each season in fresh colourways, always eschewing embellishment for a timelessly cool look.
