Get ready to rethink everything you know about collegiate fashion—because CLOT and adidas Originals are rewriting the rules. But here’s where it gets controversial: Is this a nostalgic nod to Ivy League tradition or a bold rebellion against it? Let’s dive in.
Following their buzzworthy Stan Smith collaboration, adidas Originals and CLOT, helmed by the visionary Edison Chen, are back with the Pro Model Collection—a lineup that seamlessly blends East-meets-West aesthetics with the timeless elegance of academic uniforms. This isn’t just a fashion drop; it’s a cultural conversation starter.
At the heart of the collection is the CLOT Pro Model boot, a reimagined adidas Superstar that’s equal parts heritage and innovation. Picture this: premium leather uppers in Navy and Brown, rugged rope laces, and a chunky sawtooth sole that screams winter-ready utility. Gold-tone eyelets and subtle CLOT branding add a touch of luxury, making this boot a masterpiece of craftsmanship and cross-cultural storytelling. And this is the part most people miss: It’s not just a shoe—it’s a statement about blending tradition with modernity.
But the footwear is just the beginning. The collection also features the CLOT Varsity Jacket, crafted from herringbone felt and adorned with a polar bear mascot—a nod to classic letterman jackets with a CLOT twist. Meanwhile, the Long-sleeve Tee boldly declares “Universitaire adidas CLOT,” merging academic vibes with streetwear edge. It’s vintage varsity culture, contemporary flair, and global storytelling all in one.
The entire collection drops globally on November 15, 2025, with the CLOT Pro Model boot priced at $220 USD. Here’s the question we’re leaving you with: Does this collection honor tradition or disrupt it? Let us know in the comments—we’re all ears!
