Friends and Fam Only: CLOT x adidas Reveal Exclusive Stan Smith

just flipped the on its head – again. This time around, Edison Chen and have taken a swing at a wild summer remix that fuses old-school tennis flair with Mediterranean beachside vibes.

Dubbed the Stan Smith Espadrille Beaded, this isn’t your average Wimbledon-approved sneaker. The classic white leather upper is still here, but there’s Chinese characters stitched on the toe, and a shimmering beaded fringe that swings from the heel like a chandelier in a kung fu kwoon. It’s eccentric, elegant, and unmistakably CLOT.

The real curveball? That sole. Instead of the classic rubber tooling, this pair swaps in a woven jute midsole straight out of the espadrille playbook. Light, breezy, and built for balmy nights and beachside flexing, this update gives the Stan Smith yet another new lease on life.

Now for the unfortunate kicker – this isn’t a general release. The beaded edition is a friends and family exclusive, making it one of the more elusive CLOT collaborations in recent years. If you’re not in the inner circle, consider this one a grail sighting rather than a retail cop.

That said, the of the CLOT x adidas espadrille is set to land on July 21, so keep your ear to the ground and toes in the sand for updates.
