adidas Originals is launching an extraordinary three-way collaboration that brings together CLOT by Edison Chen and BAPE (A Bathing Ape) to create a radically reimagined take on the iconic Superstar.

‍

‍

This partnership unites three influential creative forces from the international fashion scene to create a design that bridges East and West while pushing the boundaries of contemporary sneaker culture.

CLOT, led by Edison Chen, has long been committed to connecting cultures and advancing streetwear through innovative ideas. His reinterpretation of the Superstar, which began in 2024, continues with this collaboration.

‍

‍

The result is a design rooted in cultural storytelling and craft-driven innovation.

With a premium upper set atop a completely reengineered sole, Chen deliberately challenges conventional construction while staying true to the adidas Originals DNA.

BAPE, a long-standing partner of the brand, is globally recognized for its uncompromising streetwear aesthetic and signature camo.

In this collaboration, CLOT’s refined craftsmanship and BAPE’s bold visual language converge to create a sneaker that feels confident, expressive and distinctly individual.

At the center of the release is a reimagined Superstar that Edison Chen carries into a modern, premium-focused future.

The model features an off-white premium leather upper with quilted ridges, complemented by olive cargo accents that introduce a utilitarian dimension.

‍

‍

The 3-Stripes, the STA logo and the heel overlay feature a fused graphic of BAPE’s First Camo and the CLOT Silk Royale pattern, creating a striking visual contrast that highlights the distinct identities of both brands. The sand-colored ripple sole with its serrated profile completely reimagines the Superstar silhouette.

‍

The iconic shell toe is retained, while distinctive contrasts highlight the creative interplay between the partners. The heel overlay, STA logo and stripes feature a combination of BAPE First Camo and the embossed CLOT Silk Royale all-over print, creating a precise fusion of both visual worlds.

‍

‍

Subtle embossed branding from BAPE and CLOT completes the design. Collectible lace dubrés with “CLOT” and “BAPE” engravings add a final premium touch.

‍

‍

‍

The adidas Originals Superstar by CLOT and BAPE, designed by Edison Chen, will be released on December 5 and will be available at the following retailers: Asphaltgold and BSTN.
