In a world where fashion often teeters on the edge of the expected, adidas Originals and Edison Chen have joined forces once again to push us into the unknown.
This time, they’re not just serving up sneakers; they’re rolling out the red carpet for a full-fledged fashion collection—the CLOT August Collection.
And trust me, this isn’t just your run-of-the-mill collaboration. It’s a delightful mishmash of luxury, culture, and that ever-elusive element: escapism.
Edison Chen, the man who’s been bridging the gap between East and West longer than most of us have been putting on shoes, is at it again.
For this campaign, he’s roped in Spanish football stars Vicky Lopez and Mapi Leon, along with Latin music’s lyrical dynamo, Tino El Pingüino.
Together, they’re showing us how to mix it up on the daily—inviting us into their lives, their creativity, and their boundless adventures.
The collection is inspired by Chen’s jaunts through Europe, and you can see it in every stitch and stripe, as it dances between the realms of fashion, football, and music with all the grace of a midfielder on a breakaway.
Let’s talk shoes, because what’s an adidas Originals drop without something to lace up? The star of this show is the CLOT Gazelle by Edison Chen, a reimagined classic that’s got more style than a Milan runway.
It’s all about premium nubuck on a jute upper, with an espadrille sole that screams luxury. Those blue stripes?
They’re not just for show—they add a playful yet sophisticated vibe that makes this sneaker as versatile as your wardrobe.
It’s not just a shoe; it’s a love letter to craftsmanship, with Eastern-inspired stitching and custom-engineered details that make every pair feel like a one-off.
But wait, there’s more. The CLOT August Collection isn’t just about what’s on your feet—it’s about what’s on your back, too.
The collection drops four distinct pieces: a crochet zip jacket, crochet shorts, a crochet polo, and a ribbed tee.
Each piece is a nod to the lavish, laid-back lifestyle of Sardinia, while still keeping that contemporary edge that makes it adidas.
Think tailored fits, luxurious fabrics, and just the right amount of flair to keep things interesting.
The collection also reimagines iconic adidas Originals silhouettes, like the Superstar track jacket, turning them into bold, statement pieces that are perfect for anyone with a taste for adventure.
So, where can you get your hands on these beauties? The apparel from the CLOT August Collection by Edison Chen will be available on the CONFIRMED app starting August 20th.
And if you’re itching to add those CLOT Gazelles to your sneaker rotation, you can snag them worldwide on August 23rd.
This is one collection you don’t want to sleep on—because if history’s taught us anything, it’s that when Edison Chen and adidas Originals team up, magic happens.
