adidas Introduces a Textural Pair of a CLOT Gazelle Shoe

— August 9, 2024 — Fashion
adidas continues to work alongside CLOT as the two present a special variation of the CLOT Gazelle sneaker model. Taking the signature model as a canvas, it is highlighted by its textural design throughout the shoe, representing an espadrille theme.

The shoes are expertly woven to create the design, using a traditional espadrille stitching machine and it is attached to other fabric including suede and textiles along the upper. It all rests on top of a molded outsole unit to round out CLOT's take on the Gazelle silhouette. The bottom has a roped style which is supported by a thick rubber sole to make it more durable than other espadrilles. The sandy colorway is contracted by azure shades and has embroidered beading.
