adidas x CLOT x BAPE® Reimagine the Superstar

adidas Originals, CLOT, and BAPE® Unite for a Reimagined Superstar by Edison Chen

adidas Originals has officially unveiled a powerful three-way collaboration with CLOT by Edison Chen and streetwear giant BAPE®, delivering a radical redesign of the classic Superstar. This partnership brings together three of the most influential forces in global fashion—each known for pushing boundaries, shaping cultural expression, and blending creative worlds.

At the centre of this collaboration is Edison Chen, whose brand CLOT has consistently championed the fusion of Eastern and Western aesthetics. Chen’s ongoing reinterpretation of the Superstar, which began in 2024, continues here as he reshapes the silhouette through premium craftsmanship and innovative construction. The result is a sneaker that pays homage to adidas Originals’ rich heritage while introducing a daring new design language.

BAPE®, a long-established collaborator with adidas, adds its signature boldness to the project. Renowned for its iconic camo prints and groundbreaking presence in streetwear, BAPE® merges its disruptive visual identity with CLOT’s refined approach, creating a sneaker that symbolizes fearless creativity and cross-cultural storytelling.

A Future-Forward Take on an Icon

The CLOT x BAPE® Superstar by Edison Chen transforms the traditional Superstar into a high-fashion, utility-infused statement piece.

Key design features include:

• Premium off-white leather upper with stitched ridges that elevate the classic shell-toe look
• Olive cargo-inspired accents, adding depth and a touch of utility design
• Fusion of BAPE® First Camo and CLOT Silk Royale patterns across the 3-Stripes, heel mustache, and BAPE® STA logo
• Sand-colored ripple sole with sawtooth tooling, redefining the Superstar silhouette and adding a futuristic edge
• Subtle debossed branding from both CLOT and BAPE® for a refined finish
• Collectible lace deubrés engraved with “CLOT” and “BAPE®,” enhancing the premium feel

This collaboration preserves the instantly recognizable shell toe while introducing contrasting textures, cultural symbols, and modern construction techniques—perfectly capturing the creative synergy between the three brands.
