Since the split between Edison Chen’s CLOT and Nike, the label has already unveiled several collaborations with adidas. And honestly? I think adidas and CLOT are a better match than Nike and CLOT ever were. Sure, the see-through toebox on the Air Max 1 was revolutionary, but wasn’t the Dress Superstar just as groundbreaking?
The next collaboration between CLOT and adidas focuses on the Gazelle, giving this model a rugged crepe sole.
The 'Crepe Sole' pack introduces two colorways of the adidas Gazelle, both featuring a crepe sole. The upper is crafted from suede and satin, giving the sneakers a luxurious look. The Gazelle Indoor will be available in two colorways: 'Crew White' and 'Night Marine'.
The 'Crew White' features an off-white upper with a textured print printed into the suede. Gold details on the heel and center panel add a chic touch to the monochrome design. The 'Night Marine' colorway features a dark blue upper with contrasting green and yellow accents.
The thick crepe sole gives the sneaker a unique, summer look, similar to the adidas Gazelle 'Linen Khaki,' unveiled in 2024. The CLOT × adidas Originals Gazelle 'Crêpe Sole' pack is expected to arrive at adidas and select retailers in March 2025.
CLOT is a Chinese streetwear brand founded in 2003 by Edison Chen and Kevin Poon. The brand combines Eastern and Western influences and has collaborated with names such as Nike, Jordan and Lacoste. In 2023, CLOT announced that the brand was ending its two-decade partnership with Nike and teaming up with adidas.
The pack, consisting of the colorways 'Crew White' and 'Night Marine', is scheduled for March 2025.
