Famed streetwear icon Edison Chen joins forces with adidas Originals for their first global footwear collaboration, the CLOT Superstar by Edison Chen. This highly anticipated release marks the beginning of a new chapter, not only for both entities but also for the realm of cultural exchange and creative expression in the footwear industry.
Chen, renowned for his artistic vision and innovative spirit, reimagines the iconic adidas Originals Superstar silhouette. This fresh take embodies the essence of effortless authenticity and individuality, encouraging wearers to embrace their true selves.
Drawing inspiration from Chen’s artistic journey, the CLOT Superstar by Edison Chen serves as the cornerstone of a collection that bridges the gap between Eastern and Western cultures. The design seamlessly blends modern streetwear aesthetics with classic, refined details, resulting in a shoe that exudes a spontaneous and effortless vibe.
This debut collaboration channels the essence of classic tailoring with its meticulous construction and premium materials. The signature shell toe is transformed with meticulously hand-stitched ridges crafted from high-quality leather. The midsole and outsole receive an update as well, boasting a unique ripple design, a visible EVA wedge, and a beautiful leather welt. The colorway, offered in a crisp white with contrasting black stitching and logo details, reflects the refined nature of the shoe.
