The CLOT x Nike Air Max 1 ‘Kiss of Death CHA’ delivers a play on the original collaboration between the Swoosh and Edison Chen’s streetwear brand. While the older shoe was inspired by reflexology . its successor takes its design cues from tea . deemed by CLOT as one of the necessities of Chinese life. The original’s defining attributes remain unchanged . including a clear toe box . deconstructed collar and translucent rubber outsole . the latter marked with a familiar pressure-point graphic. The suede upper is rendered in tan and brown paneling with a red leather Swoosh. The same crimson hue is repeated on CLOT branding embroidered on the heel overlay.
