Along with the global drop, adidas Originals and Edison Chen are releasing a corresponding campaign. The campaign welcomes all to step into the House of Edison Chen, where elegance is effortless, heritage is honored, connection is key, and trying something new is a part of the thrill. Just as Edison evolves from streetwear icon to cultural catalyst, the film begins in the streets and transitions into a speakeasy lounge where the campaign’s protagonists – Jung Woo, Chris Severn, Joyce Wrice, Brent Faiyaz, and DPR Ian – serve as hosts, inviting the guest on an unforgettable night of adventure. Guiding the viewer through each room from a first person point-of-view, the person is revealed to be none other than Edison himself who has assembled this zeitgeist of personalities – unique in background yet culturally aligned – under one roof.

On your cultural journey across the globes, the CLOT Superstar by Edison Chen is the go-to for those who dare to be original.
