Edison Chen’s CLOT brand is gearing up for its next chapter with adidas, and this time it’s targeting the hardwood. A new CLOT x adidas Anthony Edwards 2 collaboration appears to be in the works, as teased by Chen himself via a pair of striking custom insoles.
The design features a vivid blue flame graphic running across both insoles. One bears the CLOT logo, the other Anthony Edwards’ AE mark—strong signs that a partnership is in motion. While adidas and CLOT have previously focused on lifestyle silhouettes, this would mark their first foray into adidas Basketball under the new alliance.
The timing makes sense. Edwards’ AE 1 is nearing the end of its cycle, making the AE 2 a logical platform for collaboration. In fact, Chen has been spotted at Timberwolves games and wearing AE 1 pairs since early 2024. Edwards, for his part, has worn unreleased CLOT x adidas footwear, further fanning the flames of speculation.
Although no official photos of the AE 2 model have surfaced, this insole teaser provides the clearest hint yet that something is brewing. The energy around Edwards as a rising NBA star, combined with Chen’s cultural influence, makes this project one to watch.
While a release date has yet to be set for the CLOT x adidas Anthony Edwards 2, and with only an insole rendering having surfaced so far, the drop is likely months away.
