Ever since Edison Chen and adidas linked up back in 2023, the duo have got on like a house on fire. From the Gazelle to the Samba OG, the Hong Kong-based multi-hyphenate has reimagined some of the German sportswear giant's most iconic silhouettes with a fresh CLOT spin. And for his latest creation, he’s unleashed the CLOT x adidas Pro Model Dark Brown. Winter? Never heard of her!
For those who don’t know, the Pro Model first hit the hardwood in the late ‘60s as a mid-cut take on the classic Superstar. Loved for its protective Shelltoe, premium leather build, and no-nonsense durability, it quickly became a go-to not only for players but also for street style heads who wanted something a little more substantial.
CLOT’s version, however, transforms the court classic into a full-on hiking boot designed to tackle the elements. Up top, it’s crafted from buttery Dark Brown suede, while complementary leather wraps around the Shelltoe. Perforations hit the sidewalls and heel for a subtle brogue-like touch, while Wonder Beige padding cushions the collar for added comfort and support on frosty days.
Running along the panels are brushed D-ring eyelets for that rugged, outdoors-ready vibe, laced up with thick green climbing rope-style laces. Down below, the rubber midsole has been beefed up with grippier tooling, making it more functional than ever, and the Pro Model is finished off with co-branding stamped proudly on the tongue. Everything comes packaged in a special edition box designed exclusively for this drop.
Scheduled to release in October 2025 via adidas and select retailers both online and in-store, the CLOT x adidas Pro Model Dark Brown will be available in men’s sizes for $220. More color combos are already in the pipeline, so if you want a pair in your winter rotation, make sure you download Sole Retriever's mobile app to stay updated on all the latest sneaker releases, raffles, and breaking news.
