South Africa, October 16 – adidas Originals and Edison Chen return with a new offering of apparel and footwear with the adidas Originals x CLOT Superstar Collection. Edison Chen’s connections to Vancouver and Hong Kong are woven throughout the latest offering from the partnership, bringing together distinct cultural references through a shared design lens.
The apparel lineup pairs functional silhouettes with elevated fabrication including a matching cargo jacket and short set featuring military-inspired details, and a vintage-inspired hockey jersey referencing Chen’s Vancouver roots. A reimaged track pant with braided rope accents is complemented by a padded reversible utility tote.
Footwear introduces new takes on the adidas Originals x CLOT Superstar through two interpretations. The blue suede Superstar features sawtooth tooling and premium detailing, while the Mule transforms the iconic silhouette into a slip-on style.
Alongside the collection, adidas Originals and CLOT continue their anime-inspired campaign with South Korean musical group LNGSHOT. Members Ohyul, Ryul, Woojin, and Louis are depicted by longtime CLOT collaborator and artist Annie Choi, joining Edison Chen and previous campaign stars including Anthony Edwards, Raphinha, and Luis Díaz.
The adidas Originals x CLOT Superstar Collection will be available globally beginning October 16 from adidas.co.za and adidas Sandton City.
