CLOT is introducing the ‘CLOTEZ,’ a collaborative silhouette with Nike, in a new ‘Yellow/Black’ colorway inspired by Bruce Lee. Inspired by the martial artist's iconic suit in the 1979 movie Game of Death. The CLOT x Nike CLOTEZ ‘Yellow/Black’ is the second colorway of Edison Chen, the creator and creative director of CLOT, and Harry Wong, a budding designer. With “潮” and “幫” embroidered on the heels, this silhouette boasts yellow leather uppers, Swooshes in contrasting black, coordinating laces, and nylon tongues. The Chinese letters reference CLOT’s ‘Trendy Gang’ NFT.
The slip-on unit, which has yellow Swooshes and looks like traditional kung fu attire, is colored in a deep black shade. Detachable insoles, serrated outsoles, and drawstring closures with the yin-yang symbol complete the design. The sneakers also include distinctive packaging to signify the connection.
