CLOT and Adidas Originals have teamed up again, this time delivering a boundary-pushing collection that seamlessly blends formal wear with streetwear. Under the creative leadership of Edison Chen, the CLOT x Adidas Dress Capsule takes centre stage, redefining the iconic Superstar sneaker and accompanying it with tailored sportswear. Launched on December 20th via JUICE STORE, this capsule represents a sophisticated evolution of classic Adidas designs.
The Star of the Show: CLOT x Adidas Dress Superstar
The highlight of the collection is the CLOT x Adidas Dress Superstar, a luxurious reimagining of the timeless Superstar silhouette. Crafted from premium Italian patent leather, the shoe exudes a polished, high-shine finish. Its transformation into a formal footwear option is further enhanced by key details such as:
- Oxford-Style Rope Laces: Swapping traditional flat laces for these refined alternatives adds a touch of elegance.
- Stitched Three Stripes: The subtle branding provides texture and depth while maintaining a minimalist aesthetic.
- Redesigned Sole: A striking black and tan dress-shoe-inspired sole replaces the standard rubber base, elevating the sneaker into a sophisticated wardrobe staple.
- Luxurious Interior: Leather insoles embossed with gold co-branding underline the collection’s commitment to premium quality.
The overall design balances function and fashion, preserving the Superstar’s iconic shell toe while introducing sleek, formal elements.
Complementary Pieces: Tailored Sportswear
Accompanying the Dress Superstar are matching black sports jackets and pants. This ensemble embodies Edison Chen’s unique vision of merging comfort with style. Key features include:
- Black-on-black three-stripe detailing for subtle branding.
- Trefoil logo embellishments on pocket sides.
- A loose fit for relaxed sophistication.
These pieces are ideal for those who appreciate a versatile wardrobe that transitions effortlessly from casual outings to more formal events.
Edison Chen’s Vision: Bridging Cultures and Aesthetics
Edison Chen’s approach to this collaboration goes beyond mere design. By combining Eastern and Western influences, he has created a collection that speaks to a global audience. The Dress Capsule demonstrates how subtle yet purposeful updates can reinvent a classic, offering a fresh perspective on contemporary fashion.
