FAQs
What makes the adidas Superstar CLOT unique?
The uniqueness comes from the collaboration with CLOT by Edison Chen, featuring a luxurious jacquard silk upper, gold metallic accents, and a culturally significant red and gold coin lace tassel, all celebrating the Lunar New Year.
Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?
No, this is primarily a lifestyle shoe designed for fashion and casual wear. While it offers comfort and standard sneaker durability, it is not intended for rigorous athletic activities.
How should I clean the silk material?
Gently spot-clean the silk areas with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals. Always test cleaning solutions on a small, hidden area first.
What does the Chinese New Year theme represent?
The shoe is a limited-edition release for the 2025 Lunar New Year, which is the year of the snake. The design elements incorporate cultural symbols and motifs associated with the celebration.
When was this shoe released?
The adidas Superstar CLOT By Edison Chen Chinese New Year was released on January 10, 2025.
What was the original retail price?
The original retail price was $200 USD.
Can I find this shoe in other colors?
This specific model, the 'Chinese New Year' edition, features the Core Black and Carbon colorway with Gold Metallic accents. Other Superstar models may be available in different colors.
Troubleshooting
Silk upper appears creased or damaged.
Avoid folding or creasing the shoes excessively. For minor creases, a low-heat iron on a protective cloth placed over the silk might help, but this should be done with extreme caution or by a professional.
Gold metallic accents show wear.
Avoid abrasive cleaning methods on the metallic parts. If scuffing occurs, it may be difficult to repair without professional intervention.
Sole is dirty and difficult to clean.
Use a soft brush with a mixture of mild soap and water to gently scrub the sole. For tougher grime, a specialized shoe cleaner designed for rubber soles can be used.

- Cleaning the Silk Upper: Due to the delicate nature of silk, avoid machine washing or harsh detergents. Gently spot-clean the silk areas with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, consider a specialized silk cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Cleaning the Sole and Rubber Toe: The rubber shell toe and sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry completely.
- Lace Care: The red and gold coin lace tassel should be handled with care. If cleaning the laces, remove the tassel first to prevent damage.
