Edison Chen wants the world to ring in the Year of the Horse in style.
For Lunar New Year 2026, adidas Originals and CLOT by Edison Chen are teaming up on a collection that is a true celebration of Chinese culture, craft, and modern streetwear.
The project taps into the Year of the Horse and uses it as a starting point to explore themes of vitality, strength, and forward motion—all through sneakers and apparel that feel wearable and stylish.
Edison enters a lane as a“key master” in an original anime-style campaign, creating keys that unlock hidden potential and new opportunities. This is framed as the first chapter in an evolving, multi-part series that will roll out across 2026, with special guests joining the story along the way. It’s a smart way to extend the collection beyond a single drop and build a world around it.
At the center of the collection is the CLOT Superstar Dress Shoe, a luxurious take on the adidas icon. The shoe features a cowhide horse-print, a nod to the Year of the Horse. It is paired with a leather shell toe, stitched 3-Stripes, cotton laces with gold tips, and leather tassels for a dress-shoe twist. Inside, a leather lining and a leather midsole keep things elevated, while a rubber outsole ensures it still feels practical enough for everyday wear.
The CLOT Qi Flow draws inspiration from kung fu and traditional Chinese tailoring, taking it through a contemporary lifestyle lens. A nylon upper, satin collar, pearl and frog-button closures, and an espadrille-inspired outsole give the shoe a fluid, almost ceremonial feel that still fits right into a modern rotation. The sneaker is the epitome of a bridge between heritage and daily life.
The apparel carries the same energy. The CLOT Track Jacket, for example, features a Mandarin collar, frog buttons, Western-style deco details, rounded zip pockets, rope-detailed 3-Stripes, and 100% cotton twill to merge martial arts silhouettes with Western tailoring. A matching Beckenbauer Track Pant adds a custom Lunar New Year woven label and herringbone elastic stirrups for a sense of motion and discipline.
Outerwear gets a spotlight too, with the CLOT Jacket being Edison’s personal favorite from the collection. It’s built from quilted, crinkled nylon with PrimaLoft Gold Synthetic Fill Down for warmth, and the stripes are carefully arranged to form a unique collar pattern that subtly nods to classic Chinese down jackets. A satin lining, braided rope details, a concho button closure, and dual snap pockets round out a piece that feels equal parts ceremonial and functional.
The adidas Originals x CLOT Lunar New Year 2026 collection by Edison Chen releases globally on January 31, 2026. You’ll find it at select adidas retailers, the CLOT Chinese New Year Pop-Up in Causeway Bay (Hong Kong), select JUICE locations, the JUICE ONLINE WeChat Mini Program, and JUICESTORE.com.
