adidas Originals and CLOT continue their partnership with a new Superstar collection that reflects Edison Chen‘s connections to Vancouver and Hong Kong. The latest release introduces two interpretations of the adidas Superstar alongside apparel and accessories that draw from sportswear, military clothing, and functional design. Chen brings references from both cities into the collection, using familiar silhouettes and considered details to explore his personal approach to contemporary streetwear.
SNEAKERS
The adidas Originals x CLOT Superstar Collection places footwear at the center of the release. Chen revisits the recognizable Superstar silhouette through two designs that introduce different approaches to construction and everyday wear. The first features blue suede, premium detailing, and distinctive sawtooth tooling. The textured sole gives the shoe an identifiable profile, introducing a new visual element to the classic adidas design.
The second interpretation, the CLOT Superstar Mule, transforms the traditional sneaker into a slip-on silhouette. The design adapts the familiar Superstar shape to a mule format, introducing a relaxed approach to the model. The two versions demonstrate how Chen continues to develop the Superstar through changes in material, construction, and proportion.
Beyond footwear, the apparel assortment draws on Chen’s personal history and cultural influences. The collection includes a matching cargo jacket and shorts, incorporating military-inspired details into practical silhouettes. The coordinated set introduces a utilitarian direction that connects with the broader collection’s focus on function and carefully considered materials.
A vintage-inspired hockey jersey references Chen’s upbringing in Vancouver, introducing a recognizable element of Canadian sports culture into the lineup. The jersey brings a different perspective to the apparel range, connecting Chen’s personal experiences with the sportswear references that inform the collaboration.
The collection also features redesigned track pants with braided rope accents. The detailing introduces an unexpected decorative element to a familiar athletic silhouette, reflecting Chen’s interest in adjusting recognizable sportswear designs. A padded reversible utility tote completes the accessories offering, continuing the collection’s practical approach through a design that provides different styling options.
The accompanying campaign continues the anime-inspired visual direction that adidas Originals and CLOT have developed throughout their partnership. This latest chapter features South Korean musical group LNGSHOT, introducing members Ohyul, Ryul, Woojin, and Louis into the campaign’s illustrated universe.
Longtime CLOT collaborator and artist Annie Choi creates the illustrations featuring the four musicians. Her work connects the new campaign with its previous installments, maintaining the animated visual language that has accompanied the collaboration.
The latest Superstar release maintains Chen’s focus on bringing personal references into established adidas designs. Vancouver influences appear through the hockey jersey, while his broader connections to Hong Kong inform the collection’s cultural direction. The adidas Originals x CLOT Superstar Collection launches globally on October 16, 2026, through the CONFIRMED app, adidas website, and select retailers worldwide.
