Sneaker News With so many brands clamoring for attention at this weekend’s ComplexCon Las Vegas, the all-out arms (or foot?) race is ready to come to a climax in the desert. The brands sitting at the forefront of sneaker culture and creativity are ready to take that next step with hyper-exclusives, limited editions, and long-awaited debuts, and Edison Chen might have delivered one of the most sought-after pieces of the two-day event.
As part of the burgeoning partnership between Edison Chen and adidas Originals, CLOT ushers in BAPE to finish an incredible take on the adidas Superstar. The re-soled heritage classic, the first model of the Edison Chen x adidas union, makes a surprise return adorning both the three stripes and the shooting stars in alternate white and black blocking, but the mixing and matching doesn’t end there.
A striking asymmetry is formed via two iconic patterns–A Bathing Ape’s infamous ABC camouflage print on the right and CLOT’s ever-elegant Sily Royal pattern in black on the left. Premium leather applications, leather shell-toes, matte black lace locks, lacing options in black and olive cargo, and of course the rippled bottom complete the look.
These are categorized as a Friends & Family Hyperstrike edition, which means only a few pairs will ever make it out to the public. However, CLOT will be unleashing one as part of a grand prize, so check out their booth ‘ZONE’ at ComplexCon this weekend for a chance to secure these.
