Adidas × CLOT
Across two years of separate drops, Edison Chen has been rebuilding the shelltoe as dress footwear. He told Sneaker Freaker the brogue element was added 'for a mature, grown aesthetic,' and that thinking runs through the Pro Model boots on sawtooth utility soles, the Year of the Snake Superstar with its red tassel and gold coin, the Coffee Superstar with tasseled laces, the cow-hair Superstar Dress on a stacked loafer sole, and the BAPE three-way on a ripple bottom — different drops, same project.
Edison Chen, to Sneaker Freaker on the Pro Model: "The Brogue element we added for a mature, grown aesthetic."

Construction, not silhouette. The Pro Model boot, the Lunar New Year Superstar, the Coffee Superstar, the cow-print Superstar Dress, and the BAPE/CLOT Superstar all treat the shelltoe as dress footwear rather than a court shoe, using tasseled laces, brogue detailing, jacquard prints, or stacked loafer-style soles.
Hypebeast describes premium leather uppers, rope laces, a chunky sawtooth utility sole, gold-tone eyelets, and brogue detailing. House of Heat adds reinforced shell toes with shiny plastic pieces, metallic eyelets, and a dressy serrated sole unit. Edison Chen told Sneaker Freaker the brogue was added 'to keep the mature, sexy feel.'
KK1388 in Footwear White/Coffee, released 7 March 2026 at $200. Sneaker Bar Detroit describes deep brown tones, subtle orange accents, the line's serrated edges, tasseled laces, and textured perforations throughout the upper. The colorway sits inside the same dress-shelltoe family as the Pro Model boots.
JR5114 released 16 January 2025 at $200 for the Year of the Snake. Snakeskin jacquard 3-Stripes, gold accents, an allover adidas x CLOT monogram, plus a bright red tassel attached to a gold coin for prosperity. Sits in the same tasseled, dress-leaning family as the Coffee Superstar.
KJ1473 released 5 December 2025 at $220. WWD details off-white leather upper, olive cargo accents, BAPE's First Camo fused with CLOT's Silk Royale pattern on the 3-Stripes, STA logo, and heel mustache, all sitting on a sand-colored sawtooth ripple sole. The ripple sole is the construction link to the Pro Model line.
JS5024 released 31 January 2026 at $500. The dress shoe end of the franchise: cream leather shell toe, hairy faux cow hair across the upper in cream, brown, tan, and black, cream laces with tassels, and a stacked loafer-style sole that replaces the standard cupsole entirely.
No. The shelltoe and Pro Model started as court silhouettes, but Edison Chen told Sneaker Freaker the project takes 'collegiate codes' and Ivy League references and pushes them toward dress and outerwear. House of Heat called the Pro Model boot 'a retro hiking throwback' more than a sneaker.
