The centerpiece of the CLOT August Collection is the updated CLOT Gazelle, that comes in a sophisticated linen khaki with blue accents and features a jute upper, paying homage to traditional Espadrille-making techniques. The shoe’s espadrille-inspired sole is paired with premium nubuck details.

The intricate stitching and custom-engineered cotton tape are nods to classic Espadrille artisanship, while the beaded details reflect Chen’s Eastern heritage. The shoe’s construction, particularly the custom-engineered midsole makes it as functional as it is beautiful.

The apparel in the CLOT August Collection draws inspiration from the luxurious resort lifestyles of the Mediterranean, with a focus on tailored fits and premium fabrics. The collection includes a crochet zip jacket, crochet shorts, a crochet polo, and a rib tee, each designed to embody the sophistication and ease of Sardinian retreats. The pieces are defined by their unique mesh stitching and the iconic adidas 3-stripes motif, reinterpreted in a contemporary context. The CLOT August Collection takes familiar styles like the Superstar track jacket and transforms them with unexpected patterns, colors, and materials.
