The CLOT x Air Jordan 35 'Sepia Stone' was born from a fusion of Eastern and Western aesthetics, a collaboration between Jordan Brand and the influential streetwear label CLOT. Released on February 11, 2021, this model represents a continuation of CLOT's commitment to bridging cultural divides through innovative footwear designs. Its Sepia Stone colorway and design elements pay homage to Chinese heritage, offering a unique perspective on the classic Air Jordan silhouette.
Engineered for peak performance on the basketball court, the CLOT x Air Jordan 35 'Sepia Stone' is equipped with advanced cushioning technology. Dual Zoom Air units in the heel and forefoot provide responsive cushioning, with the Eclipse Plate 2.0 maximizing energy return. The outsole features a herringbone pattern for superior grip, though its durability on outdoor courts is somewhat limited due to the thin, pliable rubber.
The CLOT x Air Jordan 35 'Sepia Stone' has become a statement piece within both streetwear and basketball cultures. This collaboration is a testament to the enduring influence of Edison Chen, founder of CLOT, whose vision has consistently pushed the boundaries of fashion and design. The jade green Eclipse Plate, a central feature, speaks to the cultural resonance of Chinese tradition, and the collaboration has been praised by fashion icons such as Virgil Abloh, for its bold fusion of Eastern and Western aesthetics. This model’s release further solidified Jordan Brand's legacy, impacting the sneaker community.
The upper of the CLOT x Air Jordan 35 'Sepia Stone' artfully blends textile and suede, reinforced with Flightwire cables for enhanced support. Breathability is ensured through the inclusion of mesh material at the toe box and vents at the rear of the shoe. The design also incorporates signature elements from the Air Jordan 5, showcasing a molded collar and tongue shape, further solidifying its iconic status.
