Edison Chen and adidas Originals are back with a new drop from their ongoing partnership, this time featuring the introduction of the CLOT Stan Smith Espadrille.
Originating in the Pyrenees region of Spain and France, espadrilles are known for their soles made from braided esparto rope, jute, or a similar fiber. This construction provides a natural, rustic look and allows for breathability. After adding an espadrille sole to the Gazelle last year, the same treatment is now being applied to the Stan Smith, a classic tennis icon.
The CLOT Stan Smith Espadrille if offered in two colorways. One comes in the Stan Smith’s iconic white/green color scheme and traditional all-leather construction, paired with a natural undyed espadrille sole. A contrasting black iteration pushes material boundaries with synthetic jute-inspired uppers, collapsible chenille heel panels, and a black dyed espadrille midsole.
“The Stan Smith is a silhouette I wanted to explore from the very beginning of our partnership,” says Edison Chen, founder of CLOT. “Integrating an espadrille sole into such a legendary sneaker was a unique challenge, but it opened up new creative possibilities that reflect the spirit of both tradition and rebellion.”
The footwear is accompanied by an apparel offering that includes a cotton crocheted vest and striped polos with matching fringed shorts and a tailored camp shirt with subtle lace embroidery over the classic adidas three-stripes. A palette of forest green, cream, chocolate brown, and subtle hints of maroon and gold evoke varsity nostalgia while offering a fresh take on athletic-inspired silhouettes.
The CLOT Stan Smith Espadrille is unveiled alongside a campaign starring Edison Chen, South Korean actress and model Hoyeon, British artist and skateboarder Blondey, award-winning F1 driver George Russell, social personality and model Jashlem, and the tennis legend Stan Smith himself. Like the Stan Smith Beaded campaign, the imagery is set against the backdrop of a country club, continuing the mission of challenging the codes of etiquette, uniformity, and access.
