Edison Chen’s Ripple-Soled Clot Superstar Is Dropping On February 23rd

The first wide release of the Clot x adidas era lands this week.

https://sneakernews.com/2024/02/20/clot-adidas-superstar-edison-chen-ih3132-release-date/

Edison Chen’s Clot label famously ended its long-time partnership with Nike in 2023, opening new doors to a brand new plane of opportunity with adidas Originals. Almost immediately, the presence of their new brand partner was felt as Chen made quite an impact at Shanghai Fashion Week last October, debuting a striking pair of Superstars.

With a completely rebuilt leather upper and re-soled with leather welts and a ripple sole, bringing a level of fashionable sophistication to the iconic shelltoes. Even the toe-cap, which is typically rubber, is crafted with hand-stitched ridges to create the signature look. Leather tassels are also attached to the lace-stay on the tongue as a nod to classic suiting.

After earlier launches exclusively overseas, the Clot Superstar by Edison Chen will now officially drop on February 23rd on the adidas Confirmed App and at select retailers globally with an MSRP of $200.

In other collabs dropping this week, the Supreme Air Max Dn will be in stores and online on February 22nd.

Are BAPE and adidas Blowing Smoke at Nike?

https://www.sneakerfreaker.com/releases/bape-adidas-lawsuit-IE6117-IE6118-price-buy-release-date/

While BAPE are still in a pickle with Nike over trademark infringements, they’ve partnered up with their good buds adidas for another collaboration. The duo are releasing a pack in signature BAPE colourways, using an adi skate model called the Lawsuit for the latest endeavour. This very well could be an innocent addition to their catalogue, but nonetheless, our spidey senses are tingling…

The Lawsuit was originally the Norton, which was released in the mid-90s, and it only had a name change after adidas were sued. The details surrounding this legal action are light, but after the model saw success in Japan, there was no wonder things were shut down pretty quick. This lineage could explain why the Lawsuit has been adopted as the model of choice for recent collaborations with Japanese designers like mita sneakers, TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloist, and now BAPE. So while BAPE makes sense on this front for being the next collaborator, the Lawsuit's inexplicable ties to trademark troubles is well and truly on the nose. And considering BAPE’s attempt to dismiss Nike’s lawsuit against them was denied just last month, the timing seems mighty convenient, especially when any Google search of ‘BAPE x adidas Lawsuit’ is flooded with news of the legal battle.

But wait, there’s more – the shoe is reported to release on April 20, which just so happens to be Adolf Hitler’s birthday, but more importantly 4/20, the ultimate day to take it easy and just chill, bro. We’re not making any assumptions here, but take what you will. Whatever the motive is behind this compelling conspiracy, it’s providing quite the laugh.

Take a Closer Look at Kiko’s New ASICS NOVALIS GEL-TEREMOA Colourways

https://www.sneakerfreaker.com/news/kiko-kostadinov-next-asics-novalis-gel-teremoa-price-buy-release-date/

With Bulgarian wunderkind Kiko Kostadinov officially launching the NOVALIS sub-label back in June, we’ve now got our first official look at two more upcoming ASICS NOVALIS GEL-TEREMOA colourways in burgundy and blue. The collaboration will launch at a preview release on kikokostadinov.com at 10am GMT.

Since first joining forces in 2018, Kiko Kostadinov and ASICS have become a force to be reckoned with. Having worked on a number of collaborations and a series of in-house projects, the duo finally announced the launch of their NOVALIS sub-label back in June, and the line’s first sneaker, the ASICS NOVALIS GEL-TEREMOA arrived shortly after. Now, building on the initial drop, Konstadinov has taken to Instagram to preview some of what’s in store for ASICS NOVALIS in 2024.

While the sub-label’s first GEL-TEREMOA drop saw the model arrive in a tumbled leather construction, the second instalment features techy-looking mesh tooling. Underneath this mesh layer, the ASICS logo pops out in a 3D fashion, which adds shape to the silhouette. The model’s quarters and vamps are made from smooth leather, and stitched panelling details at the toebox give the shoe a retro-inspired look. This all comes finished with shiny structured heel counters, calling back to the debut drop.

Judging by Kostadinov’s latest post, we can expect the next ASICS NOVALIS GEL-TEREMOA drop to include two colourways - a black and burgundy pair, and a white and royal blue iteration. Both are expected to release at the start of 2024. Grab a first look at the pairs right here, and make sure to keep it locked to Sneaker Freaker for any updates on this release!

New Balance’s MADE In USA Spring/Summer 2024 Collection Is Stacked

https://www.sneakerfreaker.com/news/new-balance-made-in-usa-spring-summer-2024-teddy-santis-price-buy-release-date/

Two previously unreleased pairs from the MADE in USA collection quietly surfaced on Rooney and sold out immediately. The pair of New Balance 993s arrived in 'Interstellar' and 'Chive', both with eye-catching palettes that wouldn't go unnoticed if mistakenly uploaded early... There's been no official word yet, but a wider release is expected to be announced shortly.

Aimé Leon Dore’s Teddy Santis took the helm of New Balance’s MADE in USA line in 2021 and has since blessed us with four seasons of heaters so far. The duo’s fifth lineup has just been previewed, and it features a massive 13 colourways to launch over the Spring/Summer season. As to be expected, Santis has kept true to the MADE in USA line’s synonymous styles, including multiple NB990v6s, NB990v4s, NB998s, NB996s, and NB993s.

Kicking off their collection are grey variations of the NB990v4, NB990v6, NB996 and NB998. These offer a heritage vibe with modernised Teddy Santis-style twists. Next up on offer is a two-pack of NB990v4s, both boasting subtle trail vibes wth two-tone laces and blacked-out midsoles. Santis made a point to deck out the NB993 in colourful tones, dressing the silhouette in purple and green colourways. The NB990v6 is the newest kid on the block, and it has been covered in a slew of colours, including an army green, purple and cream, and coral pinkish hue.

Teddy Santis’s New Balance MADE In USA Spring/Summer 2024 collection is set to begin rolling out on February 8. Stay locked here for the full Where to Buy guides for each and every colourway.
