CLOT x adidas Stan Smith "Beads" JR0022

The CLOT x adidas Stan Smith “Beads” takes the familiar clean-cut tennis classic and flips the script with a subtle yet striking detail. Built on the original low-top Stan Smith template, this version sticks to the timeless white leather base, complete with perforated 3-Stripes and a traditional shape. But it’s at the heel where Edison Chen’s vision really comes through.

Instead of a standard heel tab, the shoe features a fringe of black, white, and blue beads draped across the back, swinging freely as part of the design. The beading nods to motifs explored in previous CLOT capsules, particularly the beadwork found on Gazelle collaborations. It adds a playful, ornamental twist to a shoe that’s typically known for its minimalist identity.

This isn’t the same jute-built espadrille take seen in CLOT’s upcoming summer release. Here, the materials stay closer to the source—smooth leather, clean lines, and no gimmicks—apart from that distinct rear panel. It’s a Stan Smith at heart, but one that carries a handmade touch, blurring the line between sportswear and street craft.

For those looking to keep things low-key up front while adding a bit of movement and character at the heel, this drop does exactly that.
