adidas Originals and CLOT are releasing the Mundial Collection to celebrate the upcoming World Cup, viewing football as a universal language. The project reinterprets classic silhouettes through Edison Chen's cultural lens, blending sport heritage with contemporary design elements. The collection drops on May 2 through the CONFIRMED app, the adidas webstore, and select stores worldwide, as announced by Hypebeast. The standout CLOT Mundial shoe pays homage to its archival roots with a premium leather upper, raffia Three Stripes, and an espadrille sole. Complementing it is the CLOT Samba, which pairs a Samba Millennium upper and suede toe cap with a textured raffia bottom. These footwear pieces push traditional football styles into new territory. Apparel draws from performance roots, including Teamgeist-inspired knit jerseys in Edison Chen's signature fabrication. Other items feature a Heritage Print Short, Baja Hoodie, Refined Utility Short Sleeve Shirt, and Bandana Slider, balancing utility and modern aesthetics. The launch includes an anime-inspired campaign directed by Annie Choi, featuring football stars Raphinha and Luis Díaz alongside references to the adidas Trionda match ball.
