Football Heritage Meets Craftsmanship in CLOT x adidas ‘Mundial’ Drop

Edison Chen and adidas Originals are back at it, and this time, the duo is taking a deep dive into the archives of the beautiful game of football. Moving away from the concrete and into the stadium, the latest ‘Mundial’ Collection serves as a sophisticated love letter to football heritage, reimagined through CLOT’s distinct artisanal lens.

A Closer Look at the Clot x adidas 2026 Collection…

At the heart of the drop is the Clot x adidas Mundial ‘Core Black’ – By Edison Chen, a reinterpretation of the classic Mundial Team silhouette. Far from a simple 1-to-1 retro, Chen’s vision strips back the traditional pitch-ready aesthetic in favour of premium craftsmanship. Think textured leather uppers paired with unconventional raffia Three Stripes, all set atop a unique espadrille-inspired sole unit. We think: a nice connection between performance history and high-fashion leisure.

The narrative continues with the CLOT x adidas ‘Footwear White’, a refined take on the iconic Samba (specifically the Samba Millennium). Just like its Mundial counterpart, this version is packed with elevated details and meticulous craftsmanship.

Expanding beyond the footwear, the collection introduces an apparel range that takes football aesthetics to new heights. We’re looking at a lineup of elevated tracksuits, polos, and jerseys, all executed in rich materials and deep, stadium-ready tones.

Each piece carries a certain timelessness, where those iconic adidas stripes are subtly woven into CLOT’s unique design vision. It’s the perfect balance between the raw energy of the stands and the refined elegance of high-end fashion.
