In the dynamic world of sneaker collaborations, few names carry as much weight as CLOT. With a remarkable 20-year partnership with Nike, the brand has been at the forefront of groundbreaking designs and unforgettable releases. While recent rumors suggest a shift in allegiance from the iconic Swoosh to the renowned Three Stripes, CLOT co-founder Edison Chen surprised fans by unveiling an exclusive gem on his Instagram: the Friends & Family edition of the CLOT x Air Jordan 5 Low "Jade."
This exquisite sneaker stands in stark contrast to its previously released jet-black counterpart, showcasing an angelic color palette with pristine white embroidered silk uppers. The result is a celestial aesthetic that captures attention effortlessly. "Jade" accents make a welcome return, adorning the lace lock and the semi-translucent outsole, adding an element of mystique to the design.
But there's more to this exclusive edition. The iconic crimson red detailing, known from the general release pair, makes a triumphant comeback, gracing the laces, plush inner lining, and the fighter-jet-inspired section of the midsole. It's a blend of elegance and sophistication that exemplifies CLOT's commitment to excellence.
However, it's important to note that this captivating silhouette will remain an exclusive delight, reserved for friends and family of Edison Chen and the Hong Kong-based brand. While not everyone will have the chance to own this remarkable piece of sneaker history, it's a testament to CLOT's enduring legacy in the world of footwear design.
As we await further developments in the CLOT x Air Jordan saga, sneaker enthusiasts worldwide can look forward to the release of the Jordan 1 "Palomino" on September 2nd, marking another exciting chapter in the Jordan brand's storied history. Stay tuned for more updates, and keep your eyes on the horizon for future releases from this iconic collaboration.
