Our founding year. We sourced the perfect factory in Portugal along with the best European materials. Cleens then produced its first original silhouette, the Court Trainer.

The Essential Runner made its debut and instantly became our #1 selling shoe. Painstakingly developed over many months and sample rounds, the reaction to this shoe was out of this world.

We created your favourite shoe, the Aero Runner. Our all-time best seller, the Aero Runner is still Cleens' most popular style and has sold tens of thousands of pairs delivered throughout the world.

A huge step for us in our journey to build the best affordable luxury sneakers available, our first physical retail activations went live in Harvey Nichols & Flannels. We also launched a future classic, the Pulse Runner.

We headed to the White Isle to shoot the Ace Ibiza Pack and Hyper runner, our biggest campaign to date as well as announcing some huge retail partnerships. We have so much more planned for the rest of the year, as always the mission continues...

THE BRAND

Luxury for everyone

At Cleens we believe well-designed, high quality products should be accessible to everyone. In 2021 we launched with a simple goal: to deliver expertly crafted attainable footwear.

THE FACTORY

Made in Portugal

We chose somewhere that has shoemaking laced into its societal fabric - a place where craftsmanship, tradition, and passion converge. It’s more than work; it’s part of their life, identity and legacy.
