Los Angeles-based sneaker imprint known as [CLAE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/appleskin) works in collaboration with BEDWIN & THE HEARTBREAKERS on a new collection alongside one another. It highlights the theme of sustainability as it focuses on using leftover fabrics and [upcycled materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/refound-collection) from BEDWIN's previous works.

The main visual language that leads the looks stem from surf and skate culture, which is true to the West Coast. The range is made up of a unisex sneaker silhouette that takes the leftover materials in order to create [multi-fabric mosaic lifestyle footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pelotissima). It is detailed with a speckled outsole for a playful and nods to a sustainable look. The entire collection is set to launch officially on November 19th and will be available online.
