The 1% you carry.
Premium leather footwear with an ethically-sourced, raw citrine crystal set into each sole.
The merchant's stone.
For two thousand years, citrine has been the stone the ambitious kept close, carried by traders in the cash box, engraved by the Romans with symbols of success and known as the stone of the sun.
We chose it for its history, not for a promise.
Small margins, worn every day.
CTRNE is the first footwear brand built around a raw citrine crystal, set into the sole of every pair. Citrine has been tied to success for two thousand years. We made it something you can wear on the way up.
Two thousand years, kept close.
The Getty holds a first-century engraved citrine depicting Bonus Eventus, the Roman personification of success.
From the signet rings of Roman elites to merchants' cash boxes, citrine became known as the merchant's stone for its enduring association with prosperity.
Favoured by Queen Victoria, worn throughout the royal court and at Balmoral, then carried into fashion in the century that followed.
Chasing more means taking every advantage you can get.
Nobody arrives overnight. Success is built through small margins. A 1% edge, repeated over time, compounds into what looks like luck from the outside. The people who make it chase every one of those margins, leaving none on the table.
For centuries, those people in pursuit of more have kept a gemstone close. Citrine has long been associated with confidence, prosperity and drive.
Yes, there's a real citrine. You'll never show it to anyone.
That's the point.
A necklace is for the room. This is for you. Hidden beneath your foot, the citrine stays with you through every mile.

Our signature sole
Built around the hidden citrine. Protected by design. The First of its kind.
Since wearing them I've had my biggest month in sales in 9 years...On top of that, they look great, I get so many compliments and they are amazingly comfortable to wear all day too.
I absolutely love the messaging behind this brand and when the trainers arrived the quality was very impressive. Every time I wear them I get asked about them and tell the story. They feel special.
Kept close by the driven.
The people who chase the outcome have long kept citrine close. Every name here has been publicly documented wearing the gemstone.
Nothing to prove.
