The CLAE x Union Los Angeles Carter Lug marks CLAE's 25th anniversary through the lens of Union LA founder Chris Gibbs. Built from premium pig suede with a hand-braided vamp — referencing the tradition of hair braiding across the African diaspora — the Carter Lug carries its cultural references in the construction itself. Stacked bead aglets, a West Indies Federation flag woven side label, CLAE lug outsole, EVA midsole, and a custom pigskin sock-liner with metallic silver CLAE x Union debossing. Available in Silver Mink and Black.
