Clint’s latest sneaker, the Oasis, marks a significant addition to their footwear collection. Established in 2020, the Manchester-based brand has quickly made a name for itself in the sneaker industry, known for their rapid sell-out releases and a flagship store in Manchester. The Oasis sneaker is a bulky silhouette, reminiscent of their popular TRL model, and it stands out for its early-2000s outdoor sneaker inspiration.
The design of the Oasis features a mixed-material upper that combines suede and pebbled leather, along with distinctive clear bubbles emerging from oval-shaped holes. This style continues Clints’ tradition of embedding their name in the sole of their shoes, a feature that has been characteristic of their previous models like the TRL and their collaborative Patta sneakers. In the Oasis, Clints has gone a step further by incorporating their name not only in the sole but also on the midsole, with the “C” of Clints wrapping around a bubble on the shoe’s heel.
The development of the Oasis has been a 14-month journey, and its release is anticipated sometime in 2024. This release is part of Clints’ broader effort to make a significant impact in the sneaker industry, which has been increasingly welcoming niche brands and diverse designs. The brand’s founder, Junior Clint, has shown remarkable growth, transitioning from creating custom sneakers in his bedroom to establishing a brand that now offers full clothing collections and various footwear models.
