CLOT and adidas Unveil New Collection Inspired by Indigenous Chinese Heritage
Designer Edison Chen leads the way as CLOT and adidas Originals join forces for a new collaboration that pays homage to Indigenous Chinese culture. The collection features a range of footwear, apparel, and accessories that blend traditional craft techniques with modern sportswear and casual styles, showcasing the concept of “heritage in motion.” With a vibrant and artistic campaign, CLOT and adidas bring to life a collection that celebrates eastern motifs and natural textures.
The CLOT Silk Gazelle: A Fusion of Tradition and Modernity
The standout piece in the collection is the CLOT Silk Gazelle, available in two colorways. The first features a white base with CLOT’s iconic Silk Royale pattern, while the second boasts a tonal blue design with yellow and green stripes. Both versions are grounded in a rustic aesthetic with natural rubber-colored crepe soles.
Crafted Details and Native Patterns in the Apparel Capsule
The apparel capsule takes casual and active styles to the next level with crocheted details and traditional native patterns. These elements are also reflected in the accessories, such as crochet bucket hats and functional fanny packs. Notable pieces include the CLOT Bowling Shirt, which features a camp-collar style and unique printed ribbon closures, and the Knit Short, which puts a twist on classic adidas sports shorts with a brown crochet design and white yarn trims.
Embracing Heritage in Previous Collaborations
This is not the first time CLOT and adidas have come together to celebrate Asian heritage. In May 2024, the two brands collaborated on a collection that explored the ever-evolving Asian identity. The 12-piece collection featured hoodies, jackets, T-shirts, and shorts adorned with red and black Asian iconography. Later in August, they released the CLOT Gazelle in a special linen, khaki, and blue colorway with beaded stripes and a jute-like upper.
