CLEAN 90. 10 YEARS.
THE CELEBRATION OF AN ICON.

Ten years of Clean 90.

Designed by co-founder Max Svärdh in 2016, Clean 90 was built with one aim: a shoe that wasn't tied to any single trend or moment. It's barely changed since: all-white, full leather with a leather lining, finished with a gold-tone logo stamp, handcrafted in Portugal.

To mark ten years, presenter and cultural curator Lea Ogunlami sits down with five people, each recognized in their own field, styled in Clean 90 for the campaign. The conversations go looking for who they are beyond what they're known for.
