Matt Varga In the first year of Edison Chen’s work with adidas, we’ve absolutely learned to expect the unexpected. The CLOT head has continued to bring his subversive design language to plenty of Three Stripes icons, but his latest take on the Superstar may be his most transformative yet. After bringing his new trademark ripple sole to the 1980s silhouette, now the casual fashion icon is getting classy, emerging as the CLOT adidas Dress Superstar.
The overall shape of the Superstar and its shell toe remain, but its profile is overhauled heavily with a derby sole and cupped heel. Additionally, patent leather overtakes the entire upper, a natural touch to befit this dressed up switch for the staple silhouette. Hammering the street style meets high fashion aspect is the associated apparel coming with the shoe. A blazer and set of dress slacks, each bearing Three Stripes tracksuit detailing on the sleeves and pant legs draw up a comprehensive fit launching this next era of CLOT adidas.
As mentioned in the title, the CLOT adidas Dress Superstar releases on December 20th via JUICE channels (JUICESTORE.com, select in-store locations). As with the partner’s previous work, a wider launch down the road will likely follow.
