CLOT x adidas' Superstar Dress applies a distinctive cow-print graphic across the classic Superstar silhouette, producing a bold variation on the low-top shoe. The upper is constructed from smooth leather and features irregular black patches on a white background that echo bovine hide patterns. The signature Superstar shell toe cap remains in its traditional rubber form, and tonal laces weave through metal-eyeleted panels that match the upper’s base color. Three Stripes branding appears on the lateral and medial sides in a subtle tonal finish that complements the graphic.
The sneaker sits on a rubber cupsole with a herringbone tread pattern designed for durable grip. Heel and tongue labels are marked with co-branding details linking CLOT and adidas on each pair. Internal padding around the collar and tongue provides structure while maintaining the low-profile form.
