CLOT's Latest Jordan Delta 2 Collaboration Does Its Best "Flint" Impersonation
CLOT-branded hangtags come with holograms to echo its Air Jordan 13-inspired motif.
Only a select amount of brands have the luxury of having ongoing partnerships with Jordan Brand, and one of those is Edisen Chen‘s CLOT. The Hong Kong-based company has a rich history with MJ’s sportswear imprint having worked on models like the Air Jordan 5, Air Jordan 14 Low, Air Jordan 35 and more, and this season that duo has reunited to push out a new CLOT x Jordan Delta 2 “Flint” makeup. As you can probably guess by its nickname, this latest project draws inspiration from the ever-classic Air Jordan 13 “Flint” colorway.
“I think being able to look to the past but translate that into something new, and not having it being a literal copy is very important,” says Chen. “For me, respect used to go only one way to the elders, but now in a digital age, there has to be mutual respect because we know things that they don’t. We need to recognize both to understand exactly what is happening in the world.”
The lifestyle does its best retro impersonation by adding the 13’s signature pockmarked panels on the sides and dying them in an identical navy hue. “Flint” gray tones complement across the heels and mudguards while notes of white top off the toe tip overlays and tongues. For even more classic nods, CLOT adds an Air Jordan 13 hologram to the hangtags.
Parties interested in copping can find these dropping alongside a matching apparel collection on September 2, 2022 at select JUICE locations worldwide.
