For this release, the duo has teamed up to update the German athletic brand’s Superstar sneaker into two distinct models. The first Adidas Originals x Clot Superstar style is made in an all-over blue hairy suede. A second mule style transforms the signature silhouette into a slip-on made in a camel color hairy suede upper with army green leather detailing. Both silhouettes feature the collaboration’s signature sawtooth sole and tassel details on the laces.
