Ever since Edison Chen joined Team adidas, the Hong Kong-based designer has been responsible for some of the most unique-looking Three Stripes sneakers in recent memory. And just when you thought he might be slowing things down for the year, he returns with the CLOT x adidas Superstar Patchwork. Out of all of the Superstars that he's dropped over the past few months, this might just be his most distinctive creation yet.
Built atop a Wonder White mesh base, the first detail that jumps out is the forest green corduroy that wraps around the toebox. A Worn Sand houndstooth pattern hits the lateral heel, while a contrasting style of houndstooth adds even more texture near the forefoot. The Three Stripes arrive in beige tumbled leather, stitched on with visible seams for a tailored, almost handcrafted vibe. Bold orange nubuck dresses the eyelets, and this is complemented by co-branded detailing that's proudly stamped on the tongue – adidas' legendary Trefoil up top and CLOT's iconic monogram down below.
