Adidas Ripple-Soled

Edison Chen’s Clot label famously ended its long-time partnership with Nike in 2023, opening new doors to a brand new plane of opportunity with adidas Originals. Almost immediately, the presence of their new brand partner was felt as Chen made quite an impact at Shanghai Fashion Week last October, debuting a striking pair of Superstars.

With a completely rebuilt leather upper and re-soled with leather welts and a ripple sole, bringing a level of fashionable sophistication to the iconic shelltoes. Even the toe-cap, which is typically rubber, is crafted with hand-stitched ridges to create the signature look. Leather tassels are also attached to the lace-stay on the tongue as a nod to classic suiting.
