Are you part of the CLOT family? What about friends with the BAPE crew? Do you carry sway with the Three Stripes? It’s okay if your answer to all three of those questions was a clear “No,” if you’re in Las Vegas for ComplexCon this weekend, you could still head home with a pair of friends and family exclusive CLOT x BAPE x adidas Superstars, and change your answer real quick.

The friends & family exclusive Clot x BAPE x adidas Superstar will be along for the ride at CLOT’s “ZONE” booth in Sin City this weekend, giving fans a chance to become fam. The asymmetrical Shell Toe was spearheaded by CLOT frontman Edison Chen, and gives each brand a shoe in the pair. The right shoe leans into BAPE aesthetic, with an olive ABC camo on the upper, a black leather BAPE star logo on the lateral side and white Three Stripes branding on the medial. The left shoe features CLOT’s Silk Royale print on the upper, with black Three Stripes on the lateral side and a white BAPE star on the medial side.

Both shoes feature a black leather shell toe and tri-branded tongue logos, with matching BAPE and CLOT lace dubraes sitting on the bottom lace of each shoe. “This debut of the CLOT x BAPE Superstar is a notable moment in sneaker culture, combining heritage, innovation, and exclusivity,” the brands said in the announcement of the shoe.

The CLOT x BAPE x adidas Superstar will not be available for traditional purchase, and will only be released as part of the CLOT “ZONE” booth at ComplexCon this weekend, and if you can’t snag a pair, I guess you just weren’t meant to be family.
