adidas x Edison Chen CLOT Superstar

While many sneakers serve their purpose and fade into the background, a select few rise to tell a story. The CLOT LNY Superstar is one such shoe—a collaboration that unites craftsmanship, cultural exchange, and bold creativity.

The Superstar is a sneaker that needs no introduction. Whether on the streets, at a gathering, or during a casual day out, it’s always felt right at home. But in Edison Chen’s hands, the Superstar takes on a new life.

This updated version respects its roots while pushing boundaries. The precision-crafted shell toe, premium leather accents, and ripple midsole give it a refined edge. This version is a sleek, refined take on the Superstar, effortlessly blending tradition and modernity.

The sneaker takes cues from the snake's ability to glide effortlessly through its surroundings, embodying adaptability and fluid motion. With its striking jacquard snakeskin pattern and vibrant red and gold accents, the CLOT LNY Superstar is a bold homage to the Chinese zodiac's Year of the Snake. This release also marks a first for the collection, debuting a silk print design that brings a refined texture to the sneaker.

Adding to its cultural significance, the shoe features a coin detail, a nod to Edison Chen’s debut with Adidas during Shanghai Fashion Week. This coin symbol, deeply rooted in Chinese culture, represents prosperity and wealth, making it a meaningful addition to a collection that celebrates new beginnings and shared traditions.

Edison Chen’s work has always been about bridging gaps—between East and West, old and new, tradition and modernity. With the CLOT Superstar LNY, he’s not only brings that philosophy to one of adidas’ most iconic designs, but also celebrates cultural exploration and individuality. It’s a shoe that feels familiar but looks and feels fresh, a testament to the power of thoughtful collaboration.
