Between raw leather and considered elegance, Hast and Kleman unveil a collaboration that felt like an obvious choice: a shoe born of a legend, reinvented for urban life.
Inspired by an iconic mountain model, the pair retains its original sturdiness and utilitarian spirit, while taking on a lighter, low-cut form with a more urban profile.
A bold look, a compact silhouette, thick-grained leather: everything about it speaks of robustness and simplicity, at the crossroads of style and function.
A statement shoe: local, durable, timeless
The DNA of French craftsmanship
Designed to tread the trails of Anjou, it is now reinvented when worn with wide-leg trousers in the city. The Hast x Kleman pair combines comfort, character and durability.
Made in the heart of Romagne, near Cholet, in Kleman’s historic workshops, this pair is crafted from vegetable-tanned Italian leather, lined with calfskin, and a thick recycled rubber sole, side-stitched.
Every detail expresses the same conviction: to produce with exacting standards, close to home, while preserving what matters.
Two houses, one shared vision
Hast: accessible, timeless elegance
Since 2012, Hast has championed an exceptional menswear wardrobe, made to last: natural materials, European craftsmanship and timeless style. A desire to return to essentials, to the integrity of well-made pieces.
Kleman: workwear heritage turned icon
Kleman’s story began in 1945 with René Cléon, a former prisoner of war who made small leather shoes in the heart of a Stalag. From this workshop emerged a house that became, in 1988, an official supplier to SNCF, Air France and the French army.
Heir to this public-service craftsmanship, it now perpetuates a raw, timeless workwear style.
A meeting that makes sense
From the meeting of Hast’s pared-back wardrobe and Kleman’s historic workshop comes a statement shoe: local, traceable, made to last.
Born in Kleman’s family workshop, this grained-leather hiking boot embodies the alchemy between heritage and modernity, between the Hast brand and the Cléon manufacture.
The Hast x Kleman pair will be available in very limited quantities, from 26 November 2025 on hastparis.com and in a selection of Hast stores.
