adidas Originals x CLOT Silk Collection Honors Indigenous Chinese Heritage With Striking Campaign

Under the guidance of designer Edison Chen, CLOT has recently revealed a fresh partnership with adidas Originals, drawing inspiration from the rich Indigenous Chinese culture. This collaboration encompasses footwear, clothing, and accessories, blending artisanal craftsmanship with sportswear and casual styles to depict “heritage in motion.” The dynamic and artistic advertising campaign brings this latest venture between CLOT and adidas to life, featuring bold eastern symbols and grounded textures.

The star of this collection are two versions of the CLOT Silk Gazelle shoe, featuring a white version decorated with CLOT’s well-known Silk Royale pattern and a blue one with yellow and green stripes. Both designs are finished off with natural rubber-colored crepe soles to give them a rugged feel. The clothing lineup modernizes casual and athletic looks by incorporating crocheted details and indigenous motifs, which can also be found in various accessories such as crochet bucket hats and practical fanny packs.

Notable pieces from the collection include the CLOT Bowling Shirt that boasts a camp-collar style and replaces traditional buttons with ribbon closures printed on them. Additionally, the Knit Short reinterprets classic adidas sports shorts in a brown crochet design with white yarn accents.

The rich heritage that Chen carries has been reflected in various collections, showcasing intricate details, natural materials, and design elements reminiscent of the East. In May 2024, LỰU ĐẠN and CLOT teamed up for a collaboration, delving into “the constantly changing Asian identity.” The collection featured 12 items, including hoodies, jackets, T-shirts, and shorts, adorned with each brand’s unique Asian symbols in deep red and black hues. Later on, in August, adidas and Chen revealed the CLOT Gazelle in a distinctive linen, khaki, and blue color scheme, complete with beaded stripes and an upper resembling jute material.

Take a closer look at the gallery for a comprehensive understanding of the campaign and the collection. The CLOT Silk clothing line is currently accessible via the CONFIRMED app, while the CLOT Silk Gazelle shoes will become available at the adidas online store on April 19th.
