It only seems fitting, that a shoe imposed with Imperial motifs from Chinese streetwear brand, gets accentuated even more with inspirations drawn from Chinese porcelain, and the results we gotta say, are nothing short of astounding.
After taking an order from a customer to do up his pair of CLOT Air Force 1s, Edmond decided to bring the thematic further by imbuing the porcelain’s palette onto the minute detailings of the shoe i.e the motifs and dragon markings on the satin fabric. Let’s talk attention to detail. According to Edmond, it took a painstaking 30 hours to do one side of the shoe, ensuring none of the dye bleeds onto the fabric and messing up the neatness of the motifs.
The sock liner is tinged fully in blue, while the rubber sole is untouched. The swoosh is accented with blue highlights, and a massive CLOT logo is painted onto the medial portion of the shoe. A smaller version is touched up on the heel cup.
