CLOT And adidas Unveil 'Year Of The Horse' Collection
Heritage meets modern Lunar New Year.ByAaron ShamimJan 27, 2026

CLOT and adidas Originals return for Lunar New Year 2026 with a Year of the Horse collection that leans into cultural storytelling, premium materials, and thoughtful design. Rather than chasing novelty, the collaboration focuses on heritage and craftsmanship, presenting footwear and apparel that feel rooted in tradition while still speaking to modern style.
Two silhouettes anchor the release, each representing a different expression of movement and strength. The Superstar Dress reimagines the iconic shell-toe through a luxury lens, swapping traditional materials for real cowhide treated in a horse-inspired brown and white pattern. The result is a refined take on a classic form, where no two pairs look exactly the same.
Elevated construction details push the Superstar Dress further into fashion territory. A leather shell toe, rope laces finished with gold tips, leather tassels, and a mixed leather-rubber sole give the shoe a handcrafted feel that aligns with CLOT’s long-standing approach to blending Eastern heritage with Western silhouettes.

Providing contrast is the CLOT Qi Flow, a model rooted in kung fu shoe design. It features a nylon upper, satin-lined collar, frog-button closures, and pearl accents, offering a softer and more traditional aesthetic. The espadrille-style sole nods to previous CLOT x adidas projects, helping tie this collection into the brand’s larger collaborative universe.
Beyond footwear, a full range of apparel extends the Year of the Horse theme, allowing the story to live head-to-toe. Together, the pieces present a cohesive expression of Lunar New Year symbolism through CLOT’s distinct design language. The CLOT x adidas Originals Year of the Horse Collection releases January 31, 2026.
